048-8 Wyo. Code R. §§ 8-7 - Funding Formula and Local Matching Funds

(a) Recommendations of the Division for funding shall be based in part on a funding formula pursuant to W.S. § 7-13-1605(c)(i). The Division shall provide funding formula information to applicants and notify applicants of changes in the funding formula. The Division shall provide notice of changes to the funding formula to CST programs at least forty-five (45) days prior to the release of funding applications. The Division may use data provided by the applicant and collected by the data collection software in applying the funding formula and calculating funding recommendations. Any data used by the Division in application of the funding formula shall be reviewed by CST programs. The funding formula shall include provisions requiring local contributions to the cost of the program. The Division shall apply the funding formula to each application for state funds prior to making a recommendation to the Panel. The Panel may increase or decrease funding determinations based upon need.

(b) Each local CST program shall, pursuant to W.S. § 7-13-1605(c)(ii), require all participants to contribute to the cost of their CST program; provided, however, contributions made by participants may not be used to meet local contribution requirements.

(c) No application shall be considered unless the total of the local contribution exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of state funding sought. The local contribution may include cash or in-kind match, but the combined total must exceed twenty-five percent (25%).

(d) The application must be accompanied by a narrative explaining in detail the source and nature of any local contributions.

(e) The application for state funds should be accompanied by a narrative explaining in detail a CST program's efforts to obtain supplemental funding. The narrative should include the CST program's application to other potential funding sources, the identification of programs or other sources to which the applicant intends to apply, and any efforts the applicant has made to collaborate or integrate its programs with other programs in the community that are receiving state or private funds. Whenever the program applies for other funding, a copy of the application or summary of the application should be promptly forwarded to the Division.

(f) Local CST programs receiving state funds shall promptly notify the Division of the amount and source of any other funding awards it receives in an amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more.
