The Oregon Cultural Trust was created by the Oregon Legislature to strengthen Oregon’s culture by establishing a permanent endowment. The Trust receives funding primarily from the sale of Cultural license plates and from gifts from individuals and businesses through an Oregon State tax credit program. The Trust invests a portion of proceeds from the endowment in annual grants to Oregon counties and tribal planning groups, funding for statewide cultural agencies, and competitive grants to cultural non-profits.
