Oregon Humanities was one of fifty-six state and jurisdictional humanities councils to receive emergency relief funds through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, distributed by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
A responsive review panel composed of staff and Oregon Humanities board members granted $452,500 for general operating and programmatic support to sixty-one organizations throughout the state in late May. We received 235 applications for the three tiers of granting with awards of $5,000, $7,500, and $10,000. The sixty-one final grantees represent organizations ranging from local historical societies to culturally-specific leadership-building organizations, located from Vale to Klamath Falls to Astoria.
All of these grant recipients have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 National Emergency and Oregon’s “Stay Home, Save Lives” executive order and the funds are intended to provide timely support so that organizations can continue to support their communities through their cultural and humanities focused programs.
