Oregon Arts and Culture Recovery Program
The Oregon Arts and Culture Recovery Program supports the adaptive capacity of the arts and culture community, who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
Our latest recovery program, the Arts and Culture Rebuilding Program, was launched in June of 2024.

This effort started in early 2020 when a cohort of seven foundations and many individual donors pooled support to provide arts nonprofits one application to be considered for funding. OCF has facilitated collaborative decision-making processes involving community review committees across Oregon to help determine awards. The program aims to reach as many groups as possible, with a focus on disproportionately impacted communities (communities of color, rural, LGBTQ+, low-income, people with disabilities, and immigrants/refugees).
Generous community partners have made this program possible. Partners supporting this effort include: The Collins Foundation, James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, Oregon Community Foundation, Regional Arts & Culture Council, The Reser Family Foundation, Schnitzer CARE Foundation / Jordan Schnitzer, Mackenzie Scott and many individual donors.
The Arts & Culture Recovery Fund has supported individual artists by providing funding for the Artist Resilience Program. More information about this program can be found with our partners at the Oregon Arts Commission.
