Required next actionKeep this record in Draft. The Tom and Helen Tonkin Foundation remains valid Wyoming youth-funding intelligence, but its controlling public guidance funds charitable, educational, religious and human-services programs for Wyoming youth and gives special attention to Casper youth affected by illness, injury or poverty. That beneficiary characteristic does not itself establish a healthcare, school-health, public-health, behavioral-health, clinical-services, healthcare-workforce, telehealth, medical-device/equipment, reimbursement, EMS, maternal/pediatric-health, aging/disability-health, substance-use-treatment/prevention, or health-infrastructure funded purpose or specifically documented eligible use. Do not republish or begin applicant outreach solely because beneficiaries may have illness or injury. Re-evaluate only if the funder or current application explicitly documents a qualifying health-use pathway.
Broad Eligibility
Charitable, educational and religious programs primarily benefiting Wyoming youth ages 6-21. Grants are primarily made to Wyoming organizations, with priority for Casper and special attention to youth affected by illness, injury or poverty.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 88/100 for Wyoming youth relevance, but PUBLICATION SCOPE: FAIL under the September 17 shared Atlas healthcare/school-health rule. The authoritative Wells Fargo foundation page lists Education, Public/Society Benefit, Human Services and Religion program areas and describes support for youth, including youth affected by illness, injury or poverty. It does not document a healthcare or school-health funded purpose or a specifically eligible qualifying health use. A beneficiary's illness or injury is not sufficient by itself for Atlas healthcare/school-health publication. N9+ and QC Healthcare fits remain unverified and must not be represented as eligible costs.
The Tom and Helen Tonkin Foundation, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. serving as trustee, supports charitable, educational and religious programs primarily benefiting Wyoming youth ages 6 through 21. The foundation gives special attention to organizations serving youth in Casper who are affected by illness, injury or poverty.
Deadline: October 1, 2026 for consideration at the next grant meeting. Applications are accepted year-round. The official foundation page does not publish an exact closing time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Geography and focus: Grants are primarily made to organizations located in Wyoming, with priority given to organizations located in Casper. Program areas are education, human services, public/society benefit and religion.
Funding: The official page reports an average grant size of $2,000 to $50,000, an average of 5 to 15 grants per year and average total giving of $150,000 per year. These are historical averages, not guaranteed award amounts or a published cycle funding pool.
Match, cost share and allowable costs: The current official page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement and does not publish a detailed eligible/ineligible cost schedule. Any equipment, technology, clinical device, vendor or implementation expense must be confirmed in the controlling application and governing instrument before Atlas represents it as allowable.
Submission: Applications are submitted online through CyberGrants using the Apply Online link on the official Wells Fargo Trust Philanthropic Services foundation page. Applicants receive an email confirming submission. Grant decisions are generally communicated within three months of the deadline.
Reporting: Periodic progress reports and final reports may be required for funded projects.

Atlas analysis: Atlas Opportunity Score 88/100. N9+ Fit 12/100. The foundation’s explicit emphasis on Casper youth affected by illness or injury creates a plausible health-access context, but the published program areas and cost rules do not establish a direct technology or remote-exam pathway. Atlas will not represent the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform as allowable without controlling-source confirmation. A Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare vendor role would require an eligible organization-led youth project and explicit cost allowability.
Source control: Wells Fargo states that its foundation page is a summary and that the foundation governing instrument controls if the website differs. Atlas therefore leaves any unverified applicant-form, qualification, reference or cost requirement unresolved rather than inventing it.
