State Heritage Commission is Offering Grants for Oregon Museum Projects

The Oregon Heritage Commission is offering grants to qualified museums for collections, heritage tourism, and education and interpretation projects. Awards typically range between $2,000 and $10,000.

Museums may apply for a variety of projects. Collections projects may include cataloging, archival storage, disaster preparedness and conservation.

Heritage tourism projects may include museum marketing and promotions, enhancing visitor experience and training for museum staff. Education and interpretation projects may include exhibits, online education, school classes, workshops and camps.

Museums may also partner with other organizations for projects that might be outside of the museum, but still meet the museum's mission.

The online grant application is simple to use and includes plenty of support. A free online workshop specific to this grant and how to use the online grant application will be offered on February 20th. Advance registration is required. Recorded trainings and tips are also online.
