Oregon Cultural Trust: Fiscal Year 2026 Cultural Development Program Awards

We are proud to announce that as of September 2025 the PKSCA was awarded a $22,950 Cultural Development grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust. With this grant we are kicking off our 10 year plan to replace our fleet of traditional-style dragon boats with the 3rd generation boats, made in Taiwan. This grant will help us buy 2 new boats and help to sustain the future of our organization!

Cultural Development Program grant awards provide the recognition and support to significant
cultural projects and programs, preserving and enhancing Oregon’s diverse arts, heritage and
humanities community. Awards support cultural activities occurring between Sept. 1, 2025 and
Aug. 31, 2026.
