<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><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">August 18, 2020, marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment by Tennessee. On August 26, 1920, U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the proclamation, formally extending
voting rights to American women citizens. As we commemorate this centennial, the
<a href="http://www.ohs.org/">Oregon Historical Society (OHS)</a> and the <a href="http://www.oregonwomenshistory.org/">
Oregon Women’s History Consortium (OWHC)</a> are launching the <a href="http://www.oregonwomenshistory.org/uncategorized/chalk-the-vote/">
#ChalktheVoteOR</a> campaign, a community engagement project to generate conversations and spread knowledge about the many changes to voting rights in our state’s and nation’s history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The traditional narrative of woman suffrage begins at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, when educated and elite white women aired their demands and grievances in the “Declaration of Sentiments,” and concludes
in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Such a narrow, self-contained version of suffrage history is an injustice to the movement and its legacy — which is inextricably linked to race, gender, and citizenship. It would not be until passage of
the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) that many Black and Indigenous women would realize the promises of 15th and 19th Amendments. In 2013, furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court severely weakened the VRA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
