The Linn County Cultural Coalition is accepting proposals for grants to fund projects involving the arts, the humanities, and heritage activities in Linn County.
Deadline for grant applications is 5 p.m. on Feb. 1.
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. Through local coalitions such as Linn County’s, the Trust distributes funding to all 36 Oregon counties and nine federally recognized tribes.
Grants typically range between $250 and $2,500. Applicants may be awarded less than the full amount requested. Most LCCC past grant awards have not exceeded $1,000. (Larger grants are available directly from the Oregon Cultural Trust. For more information, contact the Oregon Cultural Trust at [email protected] or 503-986-0088, or visit https://culturaltrust.org/grants.)
The grants are available to nonprofit organizations with tax-exempt status. An organization or individual sponsored by a qualifying nonprofit may also apply. Full guidelines for applying are available at linnculture.org.
Applications should address one or more of the Linn County Cultural Coalition’s priorities:
- To enhance funding for arts, heritage, and humanities activities
- To increase public awareness of, and encourage participation in, cultural opportunities in Linn County
- To improve access to cultural opportunities for all ages, income levels, abilities, and ethnic groups throughout Linn County
For examples of qualifying projects, see the list of recently awarded grants at innculture.org/our-grants.
Coalition board members will review the applications and decide on awards within a few weeks of the Feb. 1 deadline.
Grant applications are available online at linnculture.org. Applications can be submitted online, sent by mail to the Linn County Cultural Coalition, P.O. Box 69, Albany, Oregon 97321, or sent by mail to [email protected].
