The Umatilla County Cultural Coalition will use the
following goals, strategies and performance measures
for the re-granting of Oregon Cultural Trust funds to
qualified Umatilla County projects. The goals are listed
by order of priority and decisions will be made in that
order, depending upon proposals received.
[Note: For the purposes of this Plan, the term “arts”
refers to multi-disciplinary arts, including but not limited
to visual, performing, music, writing, etc.]
Arts, Heritage and Humanities support will be balanced
equally or at the discretion of the deciding committee
based on the number, type and amount of requests; but
in no case shall funding be directed solely to one area
unless that area is the only area receiving applications
that funding period.
