Get the resources you need

You believe arts and education matter. So do we!

That's why our grant programs make it easy to connect artists, arts organizations, and education organizations in Oregon with funding for their communities.

Our grant programs are fast and flexible.

Our typical turnaround time from inquiry to grant decision is about 4 months. For smaller organizations, your path to a grant may be as short as 30 days!

Everyone benefits when funders work together.

We connect with other funders to support joint community efforts related to Arts and Education. We fund these activities through Initiatives.
