Thank you, Oregon!

Resonance Ensemble among the 621 cultural organizations awarded a total of $25.7 million dollars.

Resonance Ensemble is thrilled to share that we recently received over $43,000 from the Oregon Cultural Trust and Multnomah County Cultural Coalition. The funds, allocated to the Cultural Trust for Oregon cultural organizations facing losses due to the COVID-19 health crisis, were made available through a $50 million relief package for Oregon culture approved by the Emergency Board of the Oregon Legislature in July. 

We join 620 other cultural organizations in Oregon that were awarded a total of $25.7 million in Coronavirus Relief Fund Cultural Support grants. Thank you to local, state, and federal officials for their hard work in helping keep Oregon arts and culture alive.

These funds are life blood to Oregon’s cultural community. While they won’t replace all the losses suffered during the pandemic, they will ensure Oregon culture survives this crisis. We are deeply grateful to the Oregon Legislature for making this possible. - Chuck Sams, chair of the Oregon Cultural Trust Board
