This effort started in early 2020 when a cohort of seven foundations and many individual donors pooled support to provide arts nonprofits one application to be considered for funding. °Ä³¬Ö±²¥ has facilitated collaborative decision-making processes involving community review committees across Oregon to help determine awards. The program aims to reach as many groups as possible, with a focus on disproportionately impacted communities (communities of color, rural, LGBTQ+, low-income, people with disabilities, and immigrants/refugees).
Generous community partners have made this program possible. Partners supporting this effort include: The Collins Foundation, James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, Oregon Community Foundation, Regional Arts & Culture Council, The Reser Family Foundation, Schnitzer CARE Foundation / Jordan Schnitzer, Mackenzie Scott and many individual donors.
