CASPER, Wyo. (April 10, 2025) — Across the West, local organizations are dedicated to supporting their most vulnerable neighbors and are striving to create safe, supportive and healthy communities where everyone can thrive. To help turn these aspirations into reality, the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation is donating $469,000 in new grant funding throughout Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.

Safety and wellness grants are made through one of four grant cycles offered by the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation each year. The foundation assists a diverse variety of organizations in the communities that Rocky Mountain Power serves.
