Past recipients of Clatsop County Cultural Coalition grants, from left: Nettie Lee-Calog, Tita Montero, Daniel Keesler, Carol Lambert, Edward James, Jennifer Crockett, Andrew Tonry, Katherine Lacaze, Esther Moberg and Jane Brumfield.

Grants are available in 2019 through the Clatsop County Cultural Coalition to maintain, preserve and promote cultural programs in visual and performing arts, as well as heritage and humanities-based projects within Clatsop County.

Individuals and groups are eligible to apply for up to $2,000 per project. A 501(c)3 not-for-profit status is not necessary to apply.

The local coalition funds projects based on the degree of awareness to culture; support toward preservation, functionality, and/or sustained usage of physical facilities that promote arts and culture; and strength of the overall health of existing nonprofit organizations, schools, individuals, or businesses related to visual and performing arts, heritage and humanities in Clatsop County.

The application is available online at www.clatsopculturalcoalition.org. Deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Attend one or both of these workshops to gather more information about the application process.

Successful grant applicants will be notified by Saturday, Dec. 1, and receive their checks and can speak briefly at the awards ceremony later that month.
