About this grant

Libraries are eligible to apply for funding through the McMurry Library Endowment Grant. 

Beginning the summer of 2026, Libraries or Library Foundations looking to apply for grant funding now complete the McMurry Library Endowment Fund Application, which is specifically designed for Libraries to apply directly to the McMurry Library Endowment Fund. 

In the past, WYCF has provided support for libraries in various ways:

  • Providing e-readers to expand access to books for families at Albany County Public Library.
  • Funding to support a Story Walk in Crook County for people of all ages and families to enjoy together.
  • Providing private work spaces at Laramie County Public Library so members of the public have a space to have a job interview, participate in telehealth or work virtually.

WYCF accepts one application per Library System for any given grant deadline and a final report must be submitted prior to submitting a new grant request. Additionally, a grantee shall limit their application to one time per year, based on the submission date, unless granted permission otherwise.

WYCF gives priority to libraries who:

  • Address an identified community need and work to create a long-term solution.
  • Partner with other nonprofits or programs to enhance services without duplication.
  • Leverage dollars received from WYCF to obtain additional or future funding.
  • The McMurry Library Endowment Fund does not support general operating requests from libraries or Library Foundations, they must be Project-Specific.

When can my Library apply?

Applications for the McMurry Library Endowment Fund follow the same schedule as our Competitive Grant Cycles: 

Spring Cycle: Application opens December 15th, with applications due March 15th, annually

Fall Cycle: Application opens June 15th, with applications due September 15th, annually

If you are an individual looking to apply for the McMurry Library Continuing Staff Education Grants, you will find more information about that program in our Scholarship Directory, and will apply through the Scholarship Portal, not the Grant Portal
