About the City of Cheyenne
As the capital of Wyoming and home to more than 65,000 residents, Cheyenne is a city where every public dollar counts. The City manages more than 100 active grants across every department, from transportation to energy to public safety, with a small grants management team responsible for writing, tracking, and reporting on all of them. Without a centralized system to manage the moving parts, the team relied on a fragmented mix of spreadsheets, access databases, and PDFs. By adopting Euna Grants, Cheyenne replaced that patchwork with a single, standardized platform, freeing its team to focus less on tracking and more on winning.
The Challenge
- Managing 100+ active grants across all city departments with a single grants manager created unsustainable administrative pressure
- A patchwork of spreadsheets, Access databases, and PDFs left the city with no standardized process and serious compliance risk
- Manually tracking deadlines and report due dates fell to the grants manager alone, with no reliable system to keep project managers accountable
“Prior to Euna Grants, our city relied on a patchwork of spreadsheets, access databases, and PDFs to manage grant activity. It was bulky and the treasurer’s office realized we had a serious problem.” — Grants Manager, City of Cheyenne, WY
The Solution
- Euna Grants replaced the fragmented system with a single, centralized platform for all pending, active, and extended grants
- Automated deadline reminders notify project managers at 15, 10, and 5 days before reports are due, with no manual follow-up required
- Built-in reporting tools allow the senior accountant to pull audit-ready reports directly from the system
“Moving from spreadsheets to a standardized process was a game changer, especially being able to set task reminders. I can put all the due dates in there and my team gets an email from the system to remind them. With Euna Grants in place, it takes that pressure off of both of us to stay on top of tracking.” — Grants Manager, City of Cheyenne, WY
Results
- Eliminated the risk of missed deadlines across 100+ active grants through automated notifications
- Freed the grants manager’s time and bandwidth to focus on strategic grant writing and pursuit
- Leveled the competitive playing field for a rural city competing for federal and national funding
“By having a platform that manages the business side of grants management, it frees up my creative side to look for projects that really fit Cheyenne and benefit our community. I think having Euna Grants leveled the playing field just a little bit for us.” — Grants Manager, City of Cheyenne, WY
