The Legacy Society

The University of Wyoming Foundation Legacy Society was established in 1991 to celebrate the individuals who have so generously made an estate commitment or a deferred gift to UW. The Legacy Society membership has grown to more than 250 members and counting.

How to Join

People who give to the University of Wyoming are a select group of charitable leaders dedicated to supporting the next generation of Cowboys and Cowgirls. We invite you to join the Legacy Society by investing in UW through your long-term and estate plans. When you connect with our team, we ensure that your legacy is established according to your wishes for maximum impact. We can guide you through a variety of ways to make a gift to UW while also providing for your own retirement, your family, and your other favorite charities.

Notify Us of Your Gift

UW alum Kurt “Cub” Feltner loves Wyoming agriculture. From Pinedale, he’s served at universities across the country in ag colleges and experiment stations. With his estate, he established the Feltner Family College of Agriculture Assistance Fund, which provides scholarships to Wyoming ag students, especially those studying plant science. Previously, he established a fund in honor of his late wife of 58 years, Lynn, which created an award for the best student paper in Reflections, the research magazine of the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station.
