funding was made available through a $50 million relief package for Oregon culture recently approved by the Emergency Board of the Oregon Legislature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

“We have worked hard to develop a statewide, equitable distribution plan and look forward to supporting our cultural community in surviving this unprecedented crisis.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">All Oregon cultural nonprofits and community venues are welcome to apply. Eligible grant recipients include, but are not limited to, cultural institutions, county fairgrounds, cultural entities
within federally recognized Indian Tribes based in Oregon, and festivals and community event organizations. Funds will be distributed through the Cultural Trust statewide network of County and Tribal Cultural Coalitions. Funding will be determined based on
eligible request amounts, an award allocation formula that establishes a base amount of funds per county or tribe and the organization’s fiscal size. COVID-19 expenses previously reimbursed by other federal CARES Act programs are not eligible.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Laura Trieschmann is the State Historic Preservation Officer for the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation. In this episode, Laura shares insights into the SHPO’s role and responsibilities.
She discusses the very different approach to preservation she encountered in Vermont after many years surveying and researching historic properties in Washington, DC. Laura reveals ways historic preservation can be used for community building. “History happens
at these places and you need a sense of place. One of the first questions people always ask you is, ‘Where are you from? Where did you grow up?’ Because that forms who you are. And without those places and that history, we wouldn't be as individual as we are.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
