County Museum receives grant
David V. Ellis, chair of the
Oregon Heritage Commission,
announced that the commission has
awarded $250 grants to 99 Oregon
museums, including the Morrow
County Museum in Heppner.
In making his announcement,
Ellis said that the grants, while
small, are regarded by recipients
as very important in helping them
improve museum services. He noted
that many of Oregon's museums
are operated by dedicated volunteers.
To qualify for an Oregon Museum
Grant, a museum must meet seven
basic eligibility criteria: (1) to be
organized as a public or private non­
profit institution; (2) care for and
own or use tangible objects; (3)
exhibit those objects to the public
on a regular basis through facilities
the museum owns or operates; (4)
provide services to the public at
a designated place and reasonable
hours; (5) have been open and
providing services to the public for
two full years prior to the date of
the grant application; (6) have a
responsible, competent attendant
on duty when museum services are
open to the public; and (7) be open
to the public for a minimum of 120
hours per year.
The amount of the museum giant
award is determined by dividing
• the appropriation available for the
year ($25,000 for 2001) by the
number of qualifying institutions.
This year, 104 museums applied
for grants.

Oregon Museum Grant program
