What is the grant application process?
Applications are accepted via our online platform. If you applied last year, your organization’s information should be saved in the system provided that you use the same login information. If this is your first time applying, creating an account with RACC’s Opportunity Portal (Survey Monkey Apply) is quick and easy. Applicants can expect to hear about the outcome of their application before January 20, 2025. Checks and grant agreements will be disbursed in February 2025. For full grant guidelines and timeline, please visit our grant program page.
Where do I apply?
When the grant cycle is open, grants can be submitted via the application portal at https://racc.smapply.org/prog/mccc/. If you applied last year, your organization’s information should be saved in the system provided that you use the same login information.
Where can I download the MCCC logo?
Download the MCCC and Oregon Cultural Trust logos on our resources page. Remember, if you receive an MCCC grant, you must acknowledge both MCCC and OCT.
Are there examples of successful grant applications?
See an example of a successful grant application here.
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.
We are also happy to answer any grant questions you have, send us an email: info@multcoculturalcoalition.org.
Do you offer information sessions to learn more about MCCC grants?
MCCC will host a virtual Grant Info Session on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, 12:00-1:00pm PST, hosted by MCCC board members via Zoom.

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 2023 and 2024 is not eligible to apply for 2025 funds and must wait until the 2026 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. MCCC hosts the CCP grant application on the RACC Opportunity Portal (Survey Monkey Apply).
Where do I send my final report?
The Final Report for grant cycles must be filed online using the grant portal at racc.smapply.org. For organizations with 2024 grants, reports should be submitted by January 31, 2025.
