<DIV>Fewer than 10 days remain to help the Oregon Cultural Trust reach a<BR>fundraising goal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last month, the Trust challenged Oregonians to raise $630,000 in new<BR>donations by June 30 to support of Oregon culture. That will mean a<BR>record $1.7 million dollars in grants to be issued next month for<BR>heritage, humanities and arts organizations across the state.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"You are Oregon Heritage. You are Culture. This is your opportunity<BR>to<BR>make a gift to the Cultural Trust that expresses the value of Oregon<BR>culture in your life," says Trust manager Kimberly Howard. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Every gift matters. No gift is too small. And the Cultural Trust<BR>only works if people pay in, by making a donation. So pay in. Join<BR>the<BR>thousands of Oregonians who’ve already paid in. Help reach the goal<BR>of $4.3 million by June 30, so that as the Cultural Trust announces<BR>its<BR>2011-12 grants, we can be as generous with our awards as you’ve been<BR>to Oregon culture." </DIV>
