Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Foundation

What Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Foundation does

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Foundation is a non-profit charitable foundation established in 1977 and operating as the philanthropic arm of the Cheyenne Regional Health System in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Foundation raises and stewards donations from individual donors, corporate partners, CRMC employees, and institutional grant-makers (including a $4.7 million Helmsley Charitable Trust grant and Wyoming Department of Health funding) to fund medical equipment, capital improvements, patient assistance programs, nursing scholarships, and community health initiatives. It runs the 1-2-3 employee giving program, planned giving services, named gifts, memorial/tribute gifts, corporate matching programs, and annual fundraising events including Denim & Diamonds, the Great Bison Shuffle, and the Charity Golf Classic, accepting donations via credit card, payroll deduction, PTO conversion, cryptocurrency, and donor-advised funds through The Giving Block.

The Foundation supports a regional health system anchored by Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, the only American College of Surgeons-verified trauma center in Wyoming and the sole Wyoming provider of multiple advanced procedures (Mazor X robotic spine surgery, Micra/AVEIR leadless pacemakers, PLUVICTO, shockwave coronary technology, LimFlow, Primary Heart Attack Center). The system operates a main hospital with East and West campuses and 50+ clinic locations, deploying Epic EMR (Gold Stars Level 7), the MyChart patient portal, the CRMC GO! mobile app, a Hybrid Operating Room (launched July 2024), and advanced imaging including PET/CT, SOMATOM X.ceed CT, and GE Allia IGS 7 interventional systems. Service lines span emergency and trauma, oncology (radiation oncology partnership with University of Colorado Medicine, May 2025), cardiac and vascular care, behavioral health (including NeuroStar TMS for adolescents launched March 2026), women's and children's services (with a Children's Hospital Colorado neonatal alliance from October 2020), rehabilitation, hospice, and wound care.

The Foundation itself is a 5-employee organization governed by a Board of Directors and operating under AFP and AHP professional standards, with audited financials and IRS Forms 990 available on request and a Charity Navigator four-star rating. Revenue mechanics are donation-based rather than transactional, while the underlying health system monetizes the Foundation-funded capabilities through fee-for-service healthcare delivery across southeast Wyoming. Geographic concentration in Cheyenne and Laramie County is high; regulatory concentration of certain specialty services in CRMC is structural to the Wyoming market.

Others

• American Cancer Society: National voluntary health organization that has provided multiple grants to CRMC Foundation for patient transportation/lodging. Functions as a programmatic partner and grant counterparty rather than a peer foundation.
• Helmsley Charitable Trust: Major institutional grantmaker that awarded CRMC Foundation $4.7M for cardiac technology. Not a peer foundation but a key funding source and ecosystem counterpart whose funding priorities directly shape CRMC's project pipeline.

Direct peers

• Bozeman Health Foundation: Community hospital foundation serving Bozeman, Montana — a similarly-sized regional referral center in a mountain-west geography with comparable donor demographics, event-driven fundraising, and rural healthcare philanthropy model.
• Regional West Foundation: Foundation supporting Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, Nebraska — a frontier-region hospital foundation serving rural communities comparable to CRMC's Wyoming catchment.
• St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation: Montana hospital foundation (now part of Intermountain/Scripps system) supporting a regional referral hospital in Billings with similar event-based fundraising and capital campaign models.

Broad incumbents

Regional players

• Penrose-St. Francis Health Foundation: Colorado Springs hospital foundation serving a similar community-hospital-with-regional-referral profile, though in a different geography. Useful comparable for capital campaign scale and corporate giving mix.
