Grant to help Cottage Theatre to expand seating
Cottage Th eatre has been
awarded a grant of $40,075
from the Oregon Cultural
Trust in support of a planned
remodeling project to ex-
pand auditorium seating,
improve audience sight-
lines, and upgrade technical
and safety features.
Th e 36-year-old com-
munity theatre in Cottage
Grove was one of 87 grant-
ees in this year’s Cultural
Development Grants, and
one of only six organiza-
tions to be awarded more
than $40,000.
Other major grants were
given to Portland’s August
Wilson Red Door Project,
Medford’s Butte Creek Mill
Foundation, the Eugene
Ballet, Eugene’s Shedd In-
stititute for the Arts, and the
Oregon Shakespeare Festi-
val in Ashland.
“We are absolutely thrilled
to receive this signifi cant
support and vote of con-
fi dence from the Oregon
Cultural Trust,” said exec-
utive director Susan Goes.
“Cottage Th eatre has had
many sold-out shows in re-
cent years, and we are eager
Th e planned remodel will
add 50 new seats and allow
the theatre to increase pa-

by 4,000 each year.

Trust award is a huge confi dence
builder.”
-Mark Allen, Cottage Th eatre board treasurer
to add additional seats and
update our facility so that
it is even more comfortable
for our growing number of
patrons.”
Cottage Th eatre’s current
annual attendance is ap-
proximately 11,000 people,
with just 30 percent coming
from Cottage Grove and 70
percent coming from else-
where in Oregon and be-
yond.
this magnitude is a big chal-
lenge for a small nonprofi t
organization like Cottage
Th eatre,” said board trea-
surer Mark Allen, “and will
require strong support from
many donors to accomplish.
Receiving this Oregon Cul-
tural Trust award is a huge
confi dence builder as we
get ready to launch further
fundraising eff orts.”
Th e Oregon Cultural
Trust was established by the
state legislature in 2001 as
a way to provide ongoing
funding for arts and cultural
institutions across Oregon.
Th e Trust is funded by in-
dividual Oregonians, who
total their gift s to qualify-
ing cultural organizations,
make a matching gift to the
Cultural Trust, and receive
100 percent of that match
back as a state tax credit.
In 2017, Oregonians gave
a record $4.9 million to the
Cultural Trust. Sixty percent
of that amount was redis-
tributed immediately; to fi ve
statewide partner organiza-
tions, 45 county and tribal
coalitions, and to individual
organizations through the
competitive Cultural Devel-
opment grants.
Th e remaining 40 percent
is invested in the Trust’s per-
manent fund, to provide for
future generations.

Diet and Tooth Decay
The foods you eat and the beverages you drink play a major role in the
overall health of your teeth and gums.
Everything from the form of the food to the frequency of which you eat certain
foods can make a big difference.
Here are some other factors to consider when choosing foods, provided by
the American Dental Association, that can determine the overall level of your
oral health: the nutritional makeup of the food; the combination of the foods
you eat and the order in which you eat them; and medical conditions you
may have, such as gastrointestinal refl ux and eating disorders, which can
increase risk of cavities and weaken teeth.
