Cultural Opportunity Grants Available!
Applications Now Open — Due Tuesday, October 15th at 5pm

Lane County Cultural Coalition (LCCC) Cultural Opportunity Grants are funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust to support and protect Oregon arts, heritage, and culture by:

  • Protecting and stabilizing cultural resources, creating a solid foundation for the future.
  • Expanding public awareness and improving the quality of arts, humanities, and heritage.
  • Increasing access to and use of culture in Oregon.
  • Ensuring that Oregon-based cultural resources are strong and dynamic contributors to quality of life in Oregon’s communities.

What funds are available, and when can the funds be used? Grants are for up to $2,500 and may be used for projects taking place between January 1st and December 31st, 2025. (While a project may extend beyond these dates, the portion of the project funded by LCCC needs to occur during the grant period.) This grant is aimed at supporting projects and does not fund general operating expenses.

Who is eligible for funds? Individuals, groups, organizations, educational institutions, public organizations, and for-profit and non-profit businesses are eligible to apply for this grant.
