2024 Spring Grant Awards Announced by Cultural Coalition

 

Spring grant awards for 2024 have been announced by the Sherman County Cultural Coalition (SCCC) committing $6,380.00 to projects that strengthen existing cultural resources or engage the community in the arts, heritage or humanities in Sherman County.

 

Six project applications met the goals and priorities established by the Coalition in the Sherman County Cultural Plan.  Successful applicants and projects are as follows: Amanda West – Sherman Soapbox; City of Rufus – Rufus Welcomes You Sign; City of Wasco – Wasco Memorial Day Celebration; Hotel Moro – Ballroom History Wall; Sherman Co Worship – Personal Monitoring System; Sherman Kids Zone – Expanding Saturday Programming.

 

Funding for these community projects was made possible with a grant award received from the Oregon Cultural Trust plus matching funds generously provided by Sherman County.  Applications for the next grant cycle will be available in the fall of 2024.

 

The Oregon Cultural Trust, with donations from Oregonians, funds 1400+ nonprofits in Oregon in the areas of arts, heritage, and humanities.  When you donate to any of the 1400+ on the list, you can qualify for a state tax credit.  Visit https://culturaltrust.org/ to learn how you can get involved and qualify for the tax credit.
