Oregon Humanities is pleased to announce the guidelines for 2012 Public Program Grants. We are particularly interested in proposals for programs that bring together diverse groups of Oregonians and reflect collaboration between organizations within a community, as well as proposals from a broad range of nonprofit organizations in Oregon, including those that may not traditionally define their work as being based exclusively in the humanities. Letters of interest are due October 31, 2011, for programs beginning after April 1, 2012.

Commentary
Hello!
I am an educator and volunteer coordinator at an incredible place called Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve in Hillsboro, Our Preserve is 725 acres of wetlands and uplands which are used by nesting birds and wetland animals plus explored by many children and adults,especially bird-watchers. For years the only access to the Preserve was by car; there are no bus lines and it is dangerous to bike on the road. Our organization is working with the City of Hillsboro to construct a trail which would start in downtown Hillsboro and go through our wetlands to an existing Education Center. The reason I am reaching out to you is to see what suggestions you might have for funding a piece of art which would function as a gate to the wetlands, a portland to the natural area after coming out of the urban zone. There will be thousands of people who will use this entry and enjoy the artwork. We have an Artist, Valerie Otani, who creates public art, but we need funds for the materials which would be around $7,000. Do you know of any grants that might fit this need?

Hi Jan. My first suggestion would be to visit the website for the Regional Arts & Culture Council. You might explore funding through the Washington County Cultural Coalition as well. I’ll email you a list of additional funders as well. Good luck with your project!
