Secretary of State Bill Bradbury Endorses Cultural Trust

(Salem, Ore.) - Oregon is a great place to grow. Oregon's unique environment fosters a spirit that values beauty, entertainment, inspiration, and education. Our arts illustrate our spirit, our culture illuminates our shared values, and our humanities inspire our people. The Oregon Cultural Trust supports our arts, culture and humanities throughout the state, so every investment in the Cultural Trust is an investment in our spirit, our values and our people.

Your investment not only benefits others, it benefits you: if you have made a donation to a non-profit that supports arts and culture, your equal donation to the Cultural Trust qualifies for a tax credit from the State of Oregon.

Please join me by investing in the Oregon Cultural Trust. Make your gift online at www.culturaltrust.org or call 503-986-0088.
