2022 Grant Applications Due October 15, 2021
The Lincoln County Cultural Coalition awards grants in two categories:
Organizations and individuals serving Lincoln County residents with eligible programs and projects are required to submit an online application, available HERE. The deadline for this year's grant cycle is Friday, Oct. 15, 2021.
NOTE: The Lincoln County Cultural Coalition recognizes that COVID-19 restrictions are preventing cultural organizations from earning their usual sources of income, and that the pandemic will continue to make public programs difficult for our county's schools and nonprofits in 2022. To respond to this need, for FY2022 the Coalition will also consider proposals for capacity building projects and general operating support, submitted by organizations that address our funding priorities: 1) Improve access to cultural experiences; 2) Raise the level of cultural awareness of youth, and 3) Facilitate infrastructure improvements.
The FY2022 application does not need to be printed, scanned or submitted to a separate email (as in prior years). It will be sent directly to the committee when the applicant clicks the "Submit" button. The applicant will receive a copy of the application answers, automatically.
For further details, click the "Grants" tab above.
The Coalition is dedicated to an application process that is fair and accessible to everyone. Should you or your organization need a different application format (printed, handwritten, PDF) or other accommodation, please contact co-chair Niki Price, 541-994-9994 or lcccdirector@gmail.com.
