The Linn County Cultural Coalition is accepting proposals for grants to fund projects that will promote and improve access to the arts, to history and local heritage, and for humanities-related activities in Linn County.
The LCCC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization affiliated with the Oregon State Cultural Trust, a statewide entity established to promote and strengthen cultural activities in Oregon.
The Coalition may allocate up to $18,000 for grants in this funding cycle. Grants typically range between $250 and $2,500. Project proposals are considered on a case-by-case basis and may not be awarded the full amount requested.
Proposals must address the arts, history and heritage, and/or humanities in a manner that promotes and protects cultural activities and assets of Linn County.
Proposals must be submitted and signed by an authorized officer of a sponsoring 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit sponsoring organization.
Organizations or individuals who do not have their own tax-exempt status may be sponsored by a nonprofit organization that does.
The LCCC’s goal is to increase county residents’ access to rich and diverse arts, humanities and historical heritage in a manner that celebrates community pride and individuality. For more details, see the Linn County Cultural Plan at http://www.linnculture.com.
Locally, funding from the LCCC has helped support a wide variety of arts, history and cultural events.
Deadline for completed applications is Feb. 7. Coalition members will review the applications and make decisions on awards within a few weeks of that date.
Grant applications are available at http://www.linnculture.org and The New Era, 1313 Main St., Sweet Home.
