Grant application FAQs
What is the timeline for a CCWC grant?
Our grant cycle typically runs mid September through early October of each year.
What is the grant application process?
The grant cycle opens in late summer. Around this time, CCWC will hold one or more orientation sessions. Grants can be submitted during the following 4-6 weeks. The grant deadline normally is around early October. At this time, all grant applications are due” no exceptions. In December, CCWC sends out grant award notifications.
Is a CCWC grant the same as a RACC grant?
No, they are different. CCWC disperses funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust only. RACC receives funding from a variety of public and private partners to serve artists, arts organizations, schools and residents throughout Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. Oregon Cultural Trust is only one funding partner out of many.
