Purpose
The Clatsop County Cultural Coalition (CCCC) is funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust to award funds to projects that support, maintain, preserve and protect cultural programs in the arts (visual and performing), heritage, and humanities.
Applicant Eligibility
Nonprofit organizations registered with the Oregon Cultural Trust and proposing a project in Clatsop County are eligible to apply. Public schools, libraries, and municipalities may apply if their project fits the Clatsop Cultural Coalition requirement that it support, maintain, preserve and protect cultural programs in the arts (visual and performing), heritage, and humanities. Individuals may apply when sponsored by an OCT registered non-profit acting as fiscal agent. The CCCC does not report directly to the IRS or any other tax entity but all grants received from the Oregon Cultural Trust are public record.
Grant Funds
Grant awards will be announced and checks distributed at 6 PM on Friday, January 17, 2024, at an in-person award ceremony at the Barbey Maritime Center next to the Columbia River Maritime Museum. 2025 grants are for activities occurring between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025 and must be used within the calendar year or returned.
