For more information, please visit our website multcoculturalcoalition.org/ About The Oregon Cultural Trust “Donors to the Cultural Trust make the coalition grants possible, advancing the Trust’s mission of making Oregon culture accessible to every Oregonian. Each year, one-third of the Cultural Trust’s grant funds are distributed to Oregon’s 45 county (36) and tribal (9) coalitions. In re-granting Trust funds to community heritage, humanities and arts nonprofits, the coalitions allow the Trust’s work to be deep as well as broad, reaching every corner of Oregon,” said Kimberly Howard, Trust manager. The Oregon Cultural Trust is an innovative, statewide private-public program raising significant new funds to support and protect Oregon’s arts, humanities and heritage. In addition building a permanent endowment, the Trust distributes funds through three multi-faceted, wide-ranging grant programs. Donors to the Cultural Trust may claim an Oregon tax credit for their entire Trust gift as long as they’ve made equal or greater donations to any number of Oregon’s more than 1,200 cultural nonprofits. No other state in the nation has a program like the Oregon Cultural Trust, which has been ranked with the bottle bill and vote-by-mail as among Oregon’s most forward-thinking public policy measures.
