Where do I apply?
When the grant cycle is open, grants can be submitted via the application portal at https://www.racc.submittable.com. If you applied last year, your organization’s information should be saved in the system provided that you use the same login information.

Do you have grant writing tips?
There are a lot of great grant writing resources and tips available. Please keep in mind that some of the advice provided in these resources may not apply to MCCC’s criteria, but we still find them helpful.

I have an idea for an MCCC grant, how do I know if it qualifies?
See the full grant guidelines on our program page. You can also reach out to MCCC staff by emailing info@multcoculturalcoalition.org.
I have received a grant for the past two consecutive years. Am I eligible this year?
Recipients of MCCC grants in two consecutive years are not eligible to apply for funds the following year. For example, an organization that was awarded grants for 2021 and 2022 is not eligible to apply for 2023 funds and must wait until the 2024 grant cycle to reapply.
Is a MCCC grant the same as a RACC grant?
No, they are different. MCCC disperses funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust for organizations and projects in Multnomah County only. RACC receives funding from a variety of public and private partners to serve artists, arts organizations, schools and residents throughout Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. RACC serves as the MCCC fiscal agent for grant funds.
Where do I send my final report?
