Mission Statement
Where else but Oregon would you find a statewide program to protect cultural vitality? Created in 2002 by the Oregon Legislature, the Oregon Cultural Trust is a testimony to how much Oregonians value culture. No other state provides a 100 percent tax credit to inspire cultural giving. As uniquely Oregonian as public beaches and the bottle bill, the Oregon Cultural Trust was established as an ongoing funding engine for arts and culture across the state. Oregonians fund the Cultural Trust. We, in turn, fund the artists, potters, rappers, acrobats and dreamers who make Oregon, Oregon. In 2015 Oregonians gave $4.56 million to the Cultural Trust, our all-time record. 60 percent of that went straight back to the field, 40 percent helped grow our permanent fund. Our three grant programs fund five Statewide Partners, 45 County and Tribal Coalitions and qualified cultural nonprofits through competitive Cultural Development Grants. No other state has this incredible benefit. Lucky Oregonians!
