A $250,000 charitable gift from Tallgrass will be doubled by state of Wyoming matching funds and used to create a CO2 Storage Excellence Fund at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources.
The excellence fund will provide the essential support to advance existing efforts in carbon capture, utilization and storage from research and demonstration to commercialization, thus benefiting the future Wyoming economy. Tallgrass’ contribution will jump-start the program, with a portion of the funds immediately available and the rest placed in an endowment to provide sustainable support for future students.
A Wyoming ranching couple’s $2.5 million gift to the University of Wyoming will empower the university’s Ranch Management and Agricultural Leadership Program, fueling impactful change and supporting future leaders in ranch management and agriculture statewide.
The transformational gift was given by Art and Catherine Nicholas, Wyoming ranchers and investors who own Wagonhound Land & Livestock near Douglas. It creates the Wyoming Ranching Excellence Fund at the UW College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources and was doubled to $5 million by a state matching investment from the Wyoming Legislature.
Two University of Wyoming faculty members have earned the prestigious UW Foundation Stewardship Award for 2024.
