Oregon Cultural Trust

Supporting the Arts, Heritage and the Humanities in Oregon

The Oregon Cultural Trust was authorized in 1999 to increase public and private support for Oregon's arts, heritage and humanities. Its visionary goal: create a sustainable $200 million permanent endowment for culture. Since 2002, Oregonians have contributed over $17 million to the Trust. The Trust has awarded over $8 million in grants to every corner of the state. Over 31,000 cultural license plates are fueling the Trust's efforts in all regions.

The Oregon Cultural Trust is powered by Oregonians. Celebrate. Participate. Give TODAY. No gift is too small and every gift counts. Read more …
