Requirement
All Wyoming Humanities grants have the same basic requirements:
- The project must be humanities centered. The humanities encompass the study of all their forms of human cultural expression: their history, arts, literature, philosophy, religion, laws, cultural studies, and languages. These break down further into subsets such as ecological humanities and gender studies. However, projects like arts performances that do not have a Q&A or talk-back session to delve into the meaning and context of the experience of art fall into the realm of Wyoming Arts Council funding.
- The program must be built around a public event. Specifically, they will not fund research projects. If the project isn’t about directly engaging a public audience (through outreach components like lectures, documentaries, digital medias, curated exhibits, moderated film series, etc.) then it is probably not a fit for Wyoming Humanities funding. For the same reason, Wyoming Humanities strongly prefers to support public events that do not charge admission.
- You must have a state or federally recognized nonprofit group or state agency (library, school, college, museum), with a valid tax EIN and DUNs number to receive funds to sponsor the grant and manage the funds. They can only fund registered non-profits.
- The project must have a humanities professional in a central role. The humanities professional’s expertise should be appropriate for the project.
- All Wyoming Humanities grant funds must be matched 1:1 with non-Federal dollars. This match can be both in cash and in-kind.
