Help us protect Oregon culture!
Dec. 15, 2020
Dear friend of Oregon culture,

This has been a year of extraordinary challenges for arts and culture in Oregon. But we know that when Oregonians join together around a common cause, we will prevail.

In response to the pandemic, the Cultural Trust worked with its network of county coalitions to distribute more than $25 million of CARES act funding to 600+ cultural organizations in every corner of the state. Many wouldn't have survived without it.

Despite the relief funding, many of our cultural organizations will continue to suffer losses due to the pandemic. Fortunately, Oregonians can double their impact for free with the cultural tax credit.

Please join us in making contributions to cultural organizations that matter to you, and then participate in the Cultural Trust tax credit by Dec. 31. Together we can offer a brighter future for our libraries, theaters, museums and performing arts groups.

Yours for culture,

Hope was hard to find.
Giving us hope, value, appreciation and money to
