The development of a new Oregon Cultural Trust and Fund will work to:

• Protect and stabilize Oregon's cultural resources, creating a solid foundation for the future.

• Expand public access to and use of Oregon's cultural resources and enhance the quality of those resources.

• Ensure that Oregon's cultural resources are strong and dynamic contributors to Oregon's communities and quality of life.

A new governance structure for publicly funded statewide cultural entities:

• The Task Force has recommended that the Secretary of State coordinate efforts to link the efforts of the state's cultural agencies and partners. With the agencies maintaining their independent governance and status, this new collaboration will facilitate partnership to address cultural development initiatives in a cohesive, coordi- nated fashion not previously possible through independent efforts. It will strengthen the cultural partner agencies' ability to speak in a unified voice about cultural value and needs, and bring higher visibility to the work underway. This coordination will also facilitate the building of a broad, statewide coalition of individuals and organizations with an interest in culture, and it will increase the cultural agencies' capacity to leverage public and private funds for cross-cutting programs and initiatives advancing culture in Oregon.

• The Task Force recommends that a representative citizen advisory board be appointed to provide guidance and oversight for the granting programs and actions undertaken by the Trust.

• Staff for the Oregon Cultural Trust will be within the Secretary of State's office.

❇

New revenue sources for the Oregon Cultural Trust Fund:

• A new Cultural Trust Fund with a 10-year goal of $218 million will be developed and designed as a fundamentally public initiative. The two primary revenue sources for the Trust are the establishments of tax credits for corpora- tions and individuals and the conversion of existing state assets to the Trust Fund. A special "culture" license plate will be designed and offered to Oregonians; its value is both as a revenue source and "flag" for Oregon's culture. The existing public funding sources for the cultural partner agencies (Oregon General Funds and Lottery Funds) will remain in place. The first year of the Trust Fund operation may be partly devoted to building local cultural plans, developing infrastructure and generating the initial funding for the Trust Fund principal.

• In addition, the Trust Fund will seek grant funding from outside Oregon, particularly from major philan- thropic sources, to address far-reaching cultural development initiatives.

Three equal fund distribution mechanisms from the Oregon Cultural Trust:

• Community Cultural Participation Funds will provide, by formula, a minimum annual allocation to Oregon counties and the nine federally recognized tribes to support local and regional cultural projects and collabora- tions that respond to the vision and goals of the Trust. This funding mechanism will stimulate and support local cultural planning processes and projects. The Task Force has proposed a funding formula that takes into account both population and geography. Cultural coalitions will be developed as options for local fund distribu- tion and for the creation and monitoring of local benchmarks that relate to the overall Trust benchmarks for culture.

• Cultural Development Funds will provide competitive grant funds to address both operating and capital needs for the stabilization and preservation of cultural resources, including physical structures, financial capitalization and organizational capacity.

• Supplemental funding to the Cultural Partner Agencies [Oregon Arts Commission, Heritage Commission, Historical Society, Council for the Humanities, State Historic Preservation Office] to support partnerships and collaboration as well as underfunded existing programs. This Trust funding will not supplant existing funding to these agencies. A portion of these funds will require collaboration between two or more partner agencies.

Measuring the benefits of Culture to Oregonians

Baseline data will be collected in the first year to assess cultural participation and access, the financial condition of cultural organizations, and quality of life factors linked to cultural development. The Task Force envisions that the Cultural Plan will result in greater participation in and appreciation of culture in Oregon. The plan will support and measure the increased use of cultural assets as tools to enrich citizens' lives, to encourage life-long education and to promote knowledge of our state. The plan is designed to strengthen the connections between Oregon's cultural resources, community and economic development, and the citizenry.

To The People of Oregon,

Once in a very long time, people can come together to do something almost beyond imagination. A large and highly beneficial idea can take hold, mobilize diverse people, and the worth of their vision can permeate an entire region. That can happen now in Oregon — in all of Oregon — from Astoria to Fields to Neskowin to Joseph.

The vision is simple and straightforward. Planfully and with careful orchestration, create during the years ahead a true cultural awakening, something that lifts the arts, the humanities and our cultural heritage to a new and pivotal level capable of impacting favorably every Oregonian and strengthening the quality of life in our state.

“Why do this?” A society that promotes opportunity for all people to experience their culture and its roots (the arts, the humanities and their heritage) is a society that develops increased civility and an increased sense of community. Yet some still live with the myth that arts and culture are frosting on the cake. In fact, they are among the basic ingredients that make the cake the way we want it, the way we enjoy it. Widespread accessibility to and involvement with the arts, humanities and heritage helps mold the Oregon society in which we live. Investment here can provide a positive quality of living dividend.

The Task Force is saying, simply but clearly, the time has come to take a bold step toward molding the future we want for our state, to make culture a partner in the process, and to orchestrate the thinking, human ingenuity and creativity to enhance and expand cultural opportunity and understanding for all.

Charles Walker, Chair Joint Interim Task Force on Cultural Development

cultural pride and invigorated cultural life is Oregon’s answer to this national dilemma, its statement of values that bring us back together and give us vision for the future.

Noted Oregon artist and writer Tad Savinar comments, “I was born here. I grew up here. And now I’m raising my own child here. I have been fortunate over the last 50 years to witness many changes to the state of Oregon. It seems as if we have come to a crossroads of culture. An intersec- tion, if you will. An intersection of land, technology and people. As a result, it is imperative, now more than ever, that we invest and empower the creative paths that explore, explain and enhance our lives.”

A place where no one is left out because they cannot afford to participate, where cultural resources are preserved rather than destroyed to accommodate contemporary life. A place of beauty where works of art are everywhere and renovated historic spaces connect us to our heritage.

The Cultural Development Fund will utilize a Request for Proposals format to stimulate diverse applications for grant funding. The Fund will make grants to 501(c)3 organizations and collaborations of organizations to address significant opportunities to preserve or stabilize cultural resources and to invest in the development of new resources — the new cultural capital for the future. Priority will be given for projects that have broad impact beyond the organization itself. Priority will also be given to organizations or collaborations of organizations that have culture as a priority within their mission. However, non-cultural organizations that seek to undertake significant cultural work may also apply. Examples of ventures that would be funded include the preservation of languages, traditions or artifacts that have impact on Oregonians; the stabilization of organizations that serve wide-ranging audiences and diverse population needs; and the investment in significant new ventures such as commissioned public work that will broadly affect the population. This planning will be supported by technical Grantees may be required to match funds 2:1 in the assistance from the Trust.

It is anticipated that during year five, a portion of each county and tribe’s allocation will once again be designated for cultural planning, to articulate updated priorities and strategies to continue deepen- ing and expanding participation in all facets of culture. Providing revenue projections are met, funding will be allocated at a base plus per capita amount for each county and each of the state’s nine federally recognized tribes.

The third category of funding enables the five Core Partner Agencies to more fully carry out their missions and mandates, to expand the impact of their programs in serving more grantees, and to provide higher levels of field assistance, while the funds from the Cultural Development Fund and the Community Cultural Participation Fund go directly to the field to stimulate new undertakings.

Community development will see the impact economically, and through greater social involve- ment and pride. And, above all, the effort will be sustainable far beyond the 10 years. At the end of the fifth biennium, the Trust will hold approximately $367 million as the stable source for continued funding of cultural ventures, organizations and resources. With the built-in recurring planning that is a part of the Trust, a new plan will take place in year 10, looking ahead to ensuring that culture in Oregon is at the center of each resident’s life, each community’s well-being.
