DEADLINE NEARS FOR 2011 CULTURAL TRUST DONATIONS
 
Your heritage organization still has time to promote the benefits of
donations in 2011 to the Oregon Cultural Trust to your members and
friends.
 
The benefits:
-- Dozens of heritage organizations in Oregon (perhaps even your own or
one that you cooperate with) have received grants this year from the
Oregon Cultural Trust or its county and tribal coalitions. The Trust
lists all of its statewide grantees on its website at
www.culturaltrust.org 
-- The Oregon Cultural Trust promotes cooperation and collaboration by
heritage, humanities and arts organizations, which strengthens the
cultural infrastructure in Oregon.
-- Oregonians are able to be eligible for tax credits when filing their
2011 Oregon income tax returns because of donations to their heritage
organizations and the Oregon Cultural Trust.
 
How your organization can participate:
-- On your organization's Facebook page, friend the Oregon Cultural
Trust's Facebook page. Or use a tweet to get people to the Trust's
website.
-- Include in your organization's end-of-year e-newsletter an article
about donations to the Trust and a link to its website at
www.culturaltrust.org 
-- Include a printed Cultural Trust flyer in the envelope when you send
receipts to your donors.
--  Remind folks of the Cultural Trust's message: "Donate to the
Cultural Trust today. Get it all back at tax time. Your donation is free
to you and good for Oregon."
 
So take a moment now, to help the Cultural Trust lead in building an
environment in which heritage and other cultural organizations are
sustained and valued as a core part of vibrant Oregon communities.
