We have hit a crucial moment in the state legislative session. The budget draft has been released and several bills to increase cultural funding are moving through the legislative process. In total, nearly $80 million has been proposed for the cultural sector. This flexible funding touches all areas of our sector--from film to science to historical societies--and is available to organizations in every county and at every size. However, to secure this funding, we need to act now. Make your voice heard.
