About Us

Building a stronger community through impactful giving and advocacy for Sublette County nonprofits.

At Foundation 23, we seek to inspire thoughtful giving and philanthropy in Sublette County, Wyoming.

We share a vision of a more vibrant and enriched community by supporting all of the participating nonprofits in the county. 

​

We help the participating nonprofits in Sublette County reach their goals by helping them maximize their fundraising efforts.  Our “matching funds” pool is utilized to “match” the donations made to each of the nonprofits during our fundraising campaign.

Our Story

The Race To Raise began as the Pinedale Half Marathon and 10K in 2004 as a way to unite our community by building camaraderie and promoting fitness. The annual event takes place every September in Pinedale, Wyoming and each race is concluded with a free community BBQ that typically serves more than 700 people.
​
In 2022, the focus of the event was shifted from a one-day race into a multi-month fundraising campaign for the nonprofits in Sublette County, Wyoming. A portion of each race entry was designated to the participants' nonprofit of choice, and additional donations to those participating nonprofits were accepted. Nonprofit donations were matched by generous donors who gave to a matching funds pool.
​
With this change arose the need for a broader scope of fundraising, community awareness and organization, therefore Foundation 23 was born. We are a community foundation here to strengthen and build the Sublette County community through fundraising and advocacy for our local nonprofits.


A race along the banks of Fremont Lake is how we got started and it will continue to be our culminating event for our annual giving campaign. In 2024, the race was renamed to the Race to Raise, and a 5K distance was added.
We look forward to greatly increasing the funds donated to participating nonprofits over the future years and we thank you for helping us with that goal.
