Wyoming Arts Council

Grants

All grant applications and final reports can be accessed through the Arts Council’s online grant system, Foundant.

If you think that someone at your organization has already registered in Foundant, do not create a new account. Please contact Cashmere Balland at 307-214-7819 or cashmere.balland@wyo.gov to be added as a user. Please do not submit a grant application using someone else’s credentials. 

Starting in April 2022, organizations receiving federal funds from the Wyoming Arts Council are required to have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov. This has replaced the DUNS number previously used. A UEI does not require full registration in SAM.gov, but it does require having a user account and following a few steps. Getting a UEI is free. Avoid any website that charges a fee. You can learn more from this video. Please contact Cashmere Balland at 307-214-7819 or cashmere.balland@wyo.gov if you have any questions.
