Lighting & Technology Support Grants for Performing Arts Programs in Wyoming (USA)
GrantID: 74811
Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This annual funding opportunity offers modest financial support—typically up to $5,000—to nonprofit performing arts groups across the United States. It’s especially welcoming to organizations that produce and present their own creative work, rather than those focused mainly on hosting others’ productions.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based entities such as registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, accredited public or private schools (including universities), and government entities (federal, state, or local). The grant explicitly avoids funding activities like staff salaries, scholarships, travel, construction or renovation, events or galas, or promotional or fundraising advertising.
Applications are accepted annually, with submissions due by August 31, while funding decisions are announced by the end of December. The selection panel has the flexibility to fund proposals partially or in full.
The essence of this opportunity is to support the creation and continuation of original performance work in intimate, community-rooted settings—helping groups bring new ideas to the stage with practical, targeted funding. It's a great fit for emerging or grassroots theater, dance, music, or interdisciplinary performances that may otherwise lack funding for creative development.
Those who received equipment grants (a related offering from the same source) often submitted streamlined narratives: one organization shared a one-page, four‑paragraph story with photos—and it was enough to win. This suggests clarity and sincerity can go a long way, even in competitive environments.
Eligible applicants in Wyoming with a demonstrated commitment to Employment, Labor & Training Workforce are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
