Revision-Process Explanation

The Oregon Cultural Trust distributes one-third of its funds to Oregon’s 36 counties and nine federally recognized tribes. In order to be eligible to receive the funds, each county and tribe must create a cultural plan. The Trust requires that the plan must be revised every five years.

The original Benton County Cultural Plan was revised during the 2007–2008 fiscal year. In order to do a thorough job of revising the Plan, the Benton County Cultural Coalition used a process of soliciting information from groups and individuals in Benton County. The resulting input was used by the Coalition to strengthen the existing Plan in order to better serve the cultural needs of the county and further the goals of the Trust.
