Wyoming Association of Non Profit Organizations

The Wyoming Association of Non Profit Organizations is a nonprofit organization based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 43-2097314. It was granted tax-exempt status by the IRS in June 2008[1].

Mission and Activities

The organization falls under the category of philanthropy, voluntarism, and grantmaking foundations, as well as professional societies and associations, according to the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE)[1]. However, the website wynonprofit.org appears to be associated with the Wyoming Nonprofit Network, which serves as Wyoming's official association for nonprofits. The network advocates for partnerships and public policies to enhance the effectiveness and reach of nonprofits in the state[4][5].

Governance and Financials

The Wyoming Association of Non Profit Organizations has a board of directors that includes various leaders from local nonprofit organizations[2]. In fiscal year 2019, the organization reported contributions as a major source of revenue, along with income from program services[1].

Tax Filings and Compliance

Like other tax-exempt organizations, the association files annual tax returns with the IRS. It has filed Forms 990 and 990-EZ over the years, providing insights into its financial operations and governance structure[1].

Relationships with Other Organizations

The Wyoming Nonprofit Network, associated with the website linked to the Wyoming Association, plays a crucial role in building capacity and organizational effectiveness among Wyoming nonprofits[2][4]. This suggests a close relationship or possibly a rebranding or evolution of the original association into the network. However, the exact nature of this relationship is not clearly documented in the available sources.
