Seven non-profit organizations throughout the state received significant grants from Wyoming Humanities.

Wyoming Crossroads Grants are part of an initiative to apply humanities perspectives locally, helping to realize growth through change.  Since the program’s inception, Wyoming Humanities has awarded hundreds of thousands in Wyoming Crossroads grants.

This cycle of grants is designed to support public humanities projects related to either programming or publications.

The organizations who received these grants—as well as the amount and the project title—are:

• Buffalo Bill Memorial Association – $10,000: Art and Advertising in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
• Fort Phil Kearny & Bozeman Trail Association – $8,800: American Indian Interpretive Ranger Program
• Jackson Hole Historical Society & Museum – $5,200: How Violent was the ‘Wild West’? A Series of History Programming Featuring Dr. Elliott West

• Wyoming National Guard Historical Society – $10,000: “Telling Our Story”: Wyoming National Guard History Book Project, 1870–2020

In this competitive grant cycle, applications were reviewed by a panel of humanities experts, including members of the organization’s board of directors.

Wyoming Humanities has taken the lead in this multi-faceted statewide campaign to dig deep into the themes of Wyoming’s identity, sense of community, connection to the land, persistence, and ability to manage change.
