  • 2009 Annual Report
    2009 Annual Report ENDOWMENT CHALLENGE PROGRAM W.S. 21-16-903 ATHLETICS MATCHING PROGRAM W.S. 21-16-1403 AcADEMIC FACILITIES MATCHING PROGRAM W.S. 21-16-1003 October 1, 2009 The Honorable Joseph B. Meyer Wyoming State Treasurer 200 West 24th Street Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 Dear Joe: It is my pleasure to submit to you, the Governor, and all the members of the Wyoming Legislature the 2009 annual reports of the University of Wyoming as required under: W.S. 21-16-903 – University of Wyoming Endowment Challenge Program W.S. 21-16-1403 – University of Wyoming Athletic Facilities Matching Program W.S. 21-16-1003 – University of Wyoming Academic Facilities Matching Program This is the ninth annual report covering the Endowment Challenge Program, the sixth annual report for the Athletic Facilities Matching Program, and the fourth annual report for the Academic Facilities Matching Program. Without a doubt, the University of Wyoming has experienced and continues to experience extraordinary private support that is, in large part, the result of the unsurpassed confidence that our state elected officials and the Wyoming Legislature have demonstrated in UW with these matching fund programs. I can assure you that they have not only strengthened UW as an institution, but they have directly benefited our students and generated returns for all Wyoming’s citizens. In each section of this report—the Academic Facilities Match, the Athletic Facilities Match, and the Endowment Challenge Program—you will find examples of donor generosity and its impact, as well as detailed financial information. On behalf of the university, I would like to express appreciation for the tremendous generosity of the state and its impact now and in the future on our faculty, staff, and students.

  • State Matching Programs
    2020 Annual Report State Matching Programs UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT CHALLENGE ACCOUNT W.S. 21-16-903 ATHLETICS CHALLENGE MATCHING PROGRAM W.S. 21-16-1003 ACADEMIC FACILITIES CHALLENGE MATCHING PROGRAM W.S. 21-16-1403 University of Wyoming 2020 State Matching Programs | 1 2 | University of Wyoming 2020 State Matching Programs Donors Plus State Match A Remarkable Public-Private Partnership ver the past 19 years, the pivotal University of Wyoming Endowment Challenge Program has provided more than $222 million in matching Ofunds that have encouraged donors to partner with the State of Wyoming to support our shared future. This partnership benefits University of Wyoming students, faculty, and staff and the programs and facilities that support them. During these extraordinary times, donors continue to give generously. Established in 2001 by the Wyoming State Legislature, the state matching program is designed to leverage the generosity of donors and to encourage new levels of giving by creating incentives to invest in UW and its academic, athletic, and facility priorities. It is not often that an investment yields a 100 percent return, but that’s exactly what happens with this program—eligible endowment gifts of $50,000 or more and facility gifts of $25,000 or more are doubled by the State of Wyoming. This public-private partnership has surpassed even our greatest expectations. The state matching program’s return on investment goes way beyond the leveraging of monetary support—it impacts public morale, student success, outreach, and the security of our state’s economy. Together, we are overcoming today’s challenges and creating Wyoming’s bright future.
