Grant Overview

Wyoming's rural communities face significant challenges in terms of digital infrastructure and access to technology, with 30% of the state's rural population lacking access to broadband internet. This digital divide is particularly pronounced in the state's frontier counties, where population density is low and infrastructure costs are high. As a result, rural youth in Wyoming often lack access to digital media training and resources, limiting their ability to tell their stories and share their perspectives with the wider world. Wyoming's unique cultural heritage and natural beauty make it an ideal location for digital storytelling initiatives.

Wyoming's Frontier County Landscape The state's 23 frontier counties are characterized by low population density, limited infrastructure, and significant distances between communities. These counties are home to 40% of Wyoming's population, and are rich in cultural heritage and natural beauty. However, they face significant challenges in terms of economic development and access to resources. This grant presents an opportunity to support digital media training and storytelling initiatives in these areas, using mobile training units and other innovative approaches to reach remote communities. Unlike neighboring Colorado, Wyoming's grant applications must demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's frontier county designation and its implications for digital infrastructure and access.

Readiness Requirements for Wyoming Applicants To be considered for funding, applicants must demonstrate readiness to implement their proposed project in Wyoming's rural communities. This includes having a clear understanding of the state's digital infrastructure challenges, established partnerships with local stakeholders, and a demonstrated ability to reach remote areas using mobile training units or other innovative approaches. Applicants must also be prepared to report on project outcomes and metrics, including the number of youth trained, the quality of content created, and the impact on cultural understanding and exchange. By supporting digital storytelling initiatives, this grant has the potential to amplify Wyoming's rural voices and promote cultural understanding across the state.

Target Outcomes in Wyoming The target outcomes for this grant in Wyoming include increased digital literacy among rural youth, improved access to digital media training and resources, and a greater diversity of storytelling perspectives and voices. These outcomes are critical in a state where rural communities are often overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream media. By supporting digital storytelling initiatives, this grant has the potential to drive cultural understanding and exchange, promote economic development, and preserve Wyoming's unique cultural heritage.
