The Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund Board will hold an annual grant review meeting at the Uinta County Museum, 120 Front Street, Evanston, on June 13-14.
This year’s May 1 deadline brought in 46 applications requesting over $1.2 million in support of projects that begin after July 1. This year’s available funding is approximately $400,000.
According to Renee Bovee, administrator of the Cultural Trust Fund: "The quality of these applications is excellent and, with requests exceeding available funding by three to one, it is illustrative how needed these dollars are. These projects have a combined potential of an impact of more than $10 million in these communities. Obviously, not all grants will receive funding…but as we have learned from previous grant rounds, the local impact is often underestimated in the application process."
The WCTF meeting will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 13, and continue through the morning of Saturday, June 14. Full agendas are available on the Cultural Trust Fund web site, http://www.artsparkshistory.com/.
