The Oregon Cultural Trust’s deadline for 2009 Cultural Development grant applications is Tuesday.
Oregon 501(c)(3) arts, heritage and humanities nonprofit groups are eligible to apply for funds to support projects of cultural significance taking place through July 31, 2009. Funded projects are meant to bring cultural opportunities to more Oregonians and to preserve and enhance important cultural assets, according to a press release.
Applications must be postmarked or hand-delivered by 5 p.m. on Tuesday to Oregon Cultural Trust 775 Summer Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, OR 97301-1280. For more information and guidelines, those interested can visit http://www.culturaltrust.org/programs/grant_opportunities.php, call (503) 986-0088 or e-mail cultural.trust@state.or.us.
By law, up to 42 percent of the money the trust raises each fiscal year may be returned to the cultural community; the balance remains in a permanent endowment. In the current fiscal year, the trust awarded more than $1.36 million in grants, with one-third — $453,380 — distributed in 57 Cultural Development grants.
Contributions to the Cultural Trust have increased annually since the trust was established in December 2002. In calendar year 2007, $3.5 million was donated to the Trust, and the endowment now stands at $10.3 million.
The Oregon Cultural Trust is a statewide private-public program raising significant new funds to support and protect Oregon's arts, humanities and heritage. In addition to the creation of a permanent endowment, funds are distributed annually through three multi-faceted, wide-ranging grant programs.
