The Oregon Cultural Trust announced its FY2024 grant awards totaling $2,917,149, to be distributed to 136 arts, heritage, and humanities organizations across the state. Made possible by generous Oregonians who invested $5.2 million in the Cultural Tax Credit in FY2023, this year’s awards bring the cumulative total of Cultural Trust grants to almost $40 million since its founding in 2001.
The awards include a total of $728,759 to the Cultural Trust’s five statewide partners (Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Historical Society, and the State Historic Preservation Office) and $728,759 to 45 county and Tribal cultural coalitions that award an average of 450 additional awards annually in their communities.
