What is the timeline for funds being dispersed?

Is there a final report following my grant project?
Individuals and organizations receiving Cultural Opportunity Grants must complete a Report on Use of Cultural Opportunity Grant Funds form provided by the Cultural Coalition.

All grantees are subject to audit by the Oregon Cultural Trust.
