As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, OMA does not engage in lobbying. This page is educational and non-partisan.

Request a letter of support from OMA

OMA members can now request a letter of support from OMA to use for their grant submissions.

Please fill out this form if you are interested.

We need at least two weeks advance notice to create a letter of support.

Use the OMA forum

We recommend that members use the OMA forum to share advocacy news and updates. You must be a member and register online to use the forum. Recent posts include a sign-on letter for Oregon museum funding, and requests for feedback on how the pandemic is affecting your work.
