In 2022 voters approved to renew the 5^th Cent Sales Tax, and since then the City of Laramie has awarded over $930,000 in contracts to local agencies through its Community Partners program. The purpose of the Community Partners program is to invest in agencies that provide vital services or activities to help make Laramie a great place to live, work, and play! 

Organizations eligible to receive Community Partner funding typically fall within the following categories:  Civic Organizations/Quasi-Governmental, Recreational/Arts and Culture, and Social Service Agencies. 

• Civic Organizations/Quasi-Governmental are agencies that work collaboratively with the City of Laramie and/or Albany County government on shared community goals, concerns, and interests. Such agencies include the Albany County Public Library.
• Recreational/Arts and Culture organizations, such as the Pilot Hill, Inc. and the Laramie Public Arts Coalition, exist to promote, sustain, and develop recreational, cultural, and leisure activities within the community. Some recreational and cultural partners, such as Freedom Has a Birthday and Laramie Plains Civic Center, sponsor educational and community events that are designed to encourage diverse cultural experiences and promote a powerful sense of community.
• Social Service Agencies, such as Interfaith Good Samaritan, Laramie Soup Kitchen, and CLIMB Wyoming, support or engage activities designed to enhance the wellbeing of individuals and families within the community. The services of these agencies primarily focus on basic human needs, such as access to programs and services designed to maintain human dignity, health, and the overall welfare of our citizens.
