Summary
A statewide organization offers several funding opportunities designed to strengthen community connections and enhance appreciation for culture, history, and the humanities. These opportunities are available to nonprofit organizations, local governments, educational institutions, and in some cases, individual educators. The funding focuses on supporting projects and programs that encourage dialogue, storytelling, and understanding among the people and communities within the state.
One opportunity provides up to $10,000 in support for organizations to sustain operations, launch new humanities programs, or expand existing initiatives. These funds may be used for general expenses such as staff support, training, planning, or developing public events that highlight local history, literature, or arts. The purpose is to empower cultural institutions to continue offering educational and thought-provoking programming to the public.
Another opportunity offers smaller stipends, typically around $350, with additional travel assistance for educators who wish to bring cultural experts into their classrooms. This funding helps schools introduce students to the traditions, stories, and perspectives of Indigenous communities, strengthening cultural understanding through direct engagement and collaboration. These grants are offered throughout the state and can be requested on a rolling basis, depending on availability.
There is also a grant that supports community projects emphasizing shared experiences and collective identity. These projects often include oral history recordings, public discussions, exhibitions, and other creative approaches that document and celebrate community life. Awards for these projects vary depending on scope and need but are generally consistent with the organization’s typical grant range.
Overall, these grants are designed to support the people and institutions that tell Wyoming’s stories—those working to preserve culture, expand learning opportunities, and build a sense of connection across communities. Funding is available statewide, and opportunities are renewed annually or offered continuously to maintain ongoing access to support.
