Just remember, if you decide to stay in tonight, away from the driving rain, you are joined with many others who are taking part in the tax rebate countdown

In Oregon, cultural donors can make a matching gift to the Oregon Cultural Trust to earn the state's unique cultural tax credit - a 100%, dollar-for-dollar, bottom line savings on what you owe the state of Oregon.  The cultural tax credit may be claimed for a gift to the Cultural Trust of up to $500 by individuals, $1,000 by couples filing jointly, or $2,500 by corporations - as long as that gift is matched by equal or greater contributions to any of Oregon's nearly 1,300 arts, heritage and humanities by nonprofits.  A searchable database of qualifying nonprofits can be found at www.culturaltrust.org.
