Join our board

Winter/spring 2026: The Multnomah County Cultural Coalition is currently recruiting multiple volunteer board members.

Each board member plays a pivotal role in helping to shape the future of arts funding in Multnomah County and the state of Oregon.

We are the regranting board for the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust’s mission is to lead Oregon in cultivating, growing and valuing culture as an integral part of communities. We do this by inspiring Oregonians to invest in a permanent fund that provides annual grants to cultural organizations.

Monies donated to the Cultural Trust come back to Multnomah County and are distributed as grants. We are committed to using our resources to make culture accessible and affordable, and to support organizations and activities that emphasize cultural diversity.
