Where do the grant funds come from?
To receive Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) grant funds, every county must have created a local Cultural Plan and had it approved by the OCT. Tillamook County completed its plan and had it approved in Fall of 2004.

How much money is available?
Grant funds made available to TCCC by Oregon Cultural Trust have, in recent years, totaled about $7000 per grant cycle. Individual grant awards
ranged from $500 to $2,000. The amount of each grant awarded in any given grant cycle depends upon funds available, the number of qualifying proposals and the amount requested
by the qualifying applicant. The five priorities stated in the Tillamook County Cultural Plan are also considered when awarding grants.
