Description
The Oregon Community Foundation's Small Arts & Culture Grants provide general operating support to small, community-based arts and culture nonprofit organizations across Oregon. Designed for organizations with annual budgets under $100,000, the program aims to strengthen the operational capacity and sustainability of groups that contribute to the cultural vitality of their local communities. Grants are flexible and can be used for staffing, administration, outreach, marketing, overhead, or programming expenses. The program is now incorporated into the broader Arts and Culture Rebuilding Program, and future application cycles may be subject to change.
