The Oregon Cultural Trust is a state-funded organization that supports and promotes cultural activities across Oregon. Established in 2001, it aims to enhance the state's cultural heritage by providing grants to various organizations and projects that focus on arts, heritage, and humanities. The Trust encourages Oregonians to contribute to cultural nonprofits by offering a unique tax credit. Donors can receive a tax credit for their contributions, which helps to fund a wide range of cultural initiatives, including museums, theaters, and historical societies, ultimately enriching the community's cultural landscape.
