50 institutional partners of LCBO, the state's Lewis & Clark coalition.

LCBO will distribute federal, state, foundation, and corporate funding on a matching basis to support local activities before and during the bicentennial. For example, grants will help fund:

• Community participation in national re-enactments on the bicentennial dates, especially the NPS Corps II project
• Tribal interpretation, reconciliation, and tourism events
• Local interpretive and directional signage
• Historical society and small museum exhibits
• Community, school, and historical events, concerts, and lectures.
• School curriculum distribution and bus transportation to sites and events
• Maps, brochures, and websites guiding visitors to L&C sites and events
• Acquisition or maintenance of L&C sites
• Native American oral history, art, and cultural preservation
• TV, radio, CD-ROM, and other programming on the bicentennial
• Operational support for existing parks and interpretive facilities

The Oregon State Legislature and the National Park Service have provided funds to date.

LCBO has begun granting funds and coordinating statewide planning.

Federal, state, foundation, and corporate funding will be distributed by LCBO on a matching basis to support local activities before and during the bicentennial. Many of these activities are not yet identified or are not large enough to merit separate project summaries, however resources must be set aside to fund them. Planning to date has focused on larger infrastructure projects; this effort will support more of the smaller and program-related projects.
