About the Oregon Cultural Trust
The Oregon Cultural Trust enriches the lives of all Oregonians by increasing access to culture statewide. The Trust provides funding support for Oregon’s arts, heritage and humanities and is building a fund for Oregon culture in perpetuity. As an investment, it creates vibrant communities by fueling the economy, inspiring our children and enhancing our quality of life. In the first 11 years of the Trust, 24,000 Oregonians have raised $28 million for culture, created more than $14 million in grants to every county in Oregon and built the permanent fund to more than $20 million.
The Oregon Cultural Trust is a unique funding model for arts and culture in this country and has been ranked with the bottle bill and vote-by-mail as among Oregon’s most forward-thinking public policy measures.
