The Oregon Cultural Trust reports that Oregonians donated a record $3.5 million to the Trust in 2007 – up 20 percent from 2006 receipts.
Oregon governor Ted Kulongoski commented “In 2007, for the first time in years, the state made a major reinvestment in art and culture.”
Donors who match or exceed their gifts to the Trust with contributions to any number of Oregon’s 1,100 cultural nonprofits may claim their Trust donation as a 100 percent credit against their state income taxes.
