About Jerrica

Jerrica Becken joined the Wyoming Community Foundation in 2018 as the Associate Director of Philanthropy. She has worked in the nonprofit sector for over a decade and has served in a variety of roles from programming and direct client support to fundraising and communication management. She has extensive experience in annual giving and believes that a strong annual campaign is the ticket to long-term fundraising success. Originally from Laramie, Jerrica is passionate about Wyoming communities and hopes to help nonprofits in her home state thrive. She received a master’s degree in Nonprofit Management, with a focus on development and communications, from the University of Oregon, and graduated from the University of Wyoming with a bachelor’s in Humanities. Jerrica lives in Laramie with her husband, daughter, and two fur-kids. She would love to add details about interesting hobbies she does in her free time, but she really just likes to nap and read books.
