Cultural Trust Grant Deadline Approaching
The next Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund postmark grant deadline will be Wednesday, April 1, 2020, for projects/events/activities which begin after July 1, 2020.
The application guidelines and form is available on this website (click on Grants, then on Process). The WCTF Program Coordinator, me, Renée, will be glad to review draft application through approximately mid-March. Drafts can be sent via email: renee.bovee@wyo.gov. Please take advantage of this draft review, as I can often help catch those “little red flags” which raise questions or otherwise jeopardize an application. Also, if you are still bouncing around a couple of ideas, feel free to call me a 307-777-6312 and let’s talk to figure out the “best possible” option.
Remember, this grant deadline is for projects/events/activities which begin after July 1, 2020. WCTF grants are restricted to non-profit and governmental entity applicants based in Wyoming and do require a match (though that match can be either cash or appropriate in-kind).

This Month's Featured Story
Strand Theatre Curtain Project
At last! The show can go on AND with curtains! After 11 long years, the Evanston Cultural Center (aka Strand Theatre) can now boast having curtains, making us a little more “uptown” now! Several years ago, Michael Currey, of Ballet West in Salt Lake, visited our theatre and stated he wanted to help us, and he designed an affordable curtain system for us. Unfortunately, he left Ballet West, so we checked with a theatrical rental house to see if they could do the same project for us. Oasis Stage Werks, Salt Lake City, UT, said of course, and we applied to the Wyoming Cultural Trust for funding. Thanks to the very supportive Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund and receiving a small match from Sagebrush Theatre, (our local theatre group and partner), Urban Renewal was able to get the curtain system installed, and what a difference they make! We are thrilled!
