DEADLINE SET FOR CULTURAL TRUST GRANTS

Heritage organizations are encouraged to apply for the Oregon Cultural
Trust's competitive Cultural Development grants. 

The grants can be used to advance, preserve or stabilize cultural
resources; invest in the development of new resources; support proposals
that have a broad cultural impact beyond the applicant itself; and,
support proposals from applicants with culture as a priority within the
mission of the organization. Proposals are accepted in one of four broad
areas: preservation, access, capacity and creativity.

Heritage organizations that recently received cultural development
grants include the Coos County Historical Society, the High Desert
Museum, the Whiteside Theatre, the Cottage Grove Museum Restoration
Corp., the Mount Hood Cultural Center and Museum, Friends of the Oregon
Caves and Chateau, and others. The application deadline is May 14.
