The purpose of the Harney County Cultural Coalition (HCCC) is to foster the growth of, and encourage participation in, the arts, humanities, and heritage of Harney County. The HCCC is very pleased to announce that it has awarded Fiscal Year 2014-2015 grants to the following organizations.
Funding for the annual HCCC grants is provided by the Oregon Cultural Trust. The OCT relies on donations and distributes about $1.5 million per year to cultural organizations throughout Oregon using competitive grants. If you are thinking about charitable donations as the end of the year approaches, please consider the Oregon Cultural Trust. If you make a donation to a non-profit organization from the OCT’s list of approved charities and then make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust, you may claim your donation to the OCT as a tax credit on your Oregon State Income Tax. This credit will reduce the amount of the check you will be writing for state income tax while supporting the arts, heritage, and humanities in Oregon. The OCT’s “Donate, Match, Get the Whole Match Back” program is unique in the nation and is a wonderful way to support worthy organizations here in Harney County while helping to ensure the cultural vitality of all of Oregon.

- The Chamber Music Society of Harney County was awarded $1,500. The money will be used to purchase sheet music for performances in 2015 and fund a workshop to help youth further their musical ambitions.
