The Creative Aging Project Grant, offered by the Wyoming Arts Council, aims to foster Creative Aging programming within Wyoming communities. This competitive grant supports non-profit organizations and individual teaching artists in developing and implementing engaging programs. While the specific foundation mission alignment and strategic priorities are not explicitly detailed as a separate entity, the Wyoming Arts Council's role inherently positions this grant within a framework of promoting arts and cultural engagement, thereby improving the quality of life for Wyoming residents, particularly older adults. The grant's structure of funding increments for each 8-week program aligns with a theory of change that posits sustained artistic engagement can lead to positive outcomes for participants. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are older adults in Wyoming communities, who will participate in the Creative Aging programs. The impact goals are to develop and implement between one and four separate 8-week creative aging programs by June 30th, 2025. These programs are expected to serve a broad audience, be artistically excellent, and incorporate outreach. The grant implicitly seeks to enhance the well-being, social connection, and creative expression of older adults through structured artistic activities, contributing to a more vibrant and connected community. The grant prioritizes the development and implementation of multiple 8-week creative aging programs. Funding is directly tied to the number of programs proposed, with $2,500 awarded for each program, up to a maximum of four programs ($10,000). This focus ensures a programmatic approach to creative aging rather than one-off events. Additionally, the eligibility criteria emphasize the capacity and compliance of applicant organizations (501(c)(3) non-profits or government agencies) and the qualifications and residency of individual artists, ensuring responsible stewardship of grant funds and effective program delivery. Expected outcomes include the successful completion of between one and four 8-week creative aging programs across Wyoming. Measurable results would include the number of programs implemented, the number of participants served, and potentially qualitative feedback on participant engagement and artistic experiences, although specific metrics for impact are not detailed within the provided text. The grant's success will ultimately be measured by its ability to cultivate new or expanded creative aging opportunities that meet the artistic excellence and broad audience reach criteria set forth by the Wyoming Arts Council, fostering a more artistically engaged and supportive environment for older adults.
