# Creative Opportunity Program

Signed into law after the 2021 legislative session, the Creative Opportunity Program (COP) dedicates 2% of the Oregon Production Investment Fund (OPIF) to community supporting programs like grants, workforce development, training, regional development, and strategic partnership programs. Each year approximately $375,000 is committed to a broad range of programming that supports Oregon's creative community.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: The COP does not provide grants or funding for individual films, shorts, or projects unless they are submitted/processed through an existing and open grant program** (e.g. the [Tell Your Story Grant](https://oregonconfluence.com/2024/07/22/tell-your-story-grant-winners-2024/), [Outdoor Adventure Film Grant](https://oregonconfluence.com/2023/04/03/outdoor-adventure-film-grant-23-awarded-to-two-grantees/), or [Oregon Impact Grants](https://oregonconfluence.com/2025/08/29/oregon-film-feature-film-impact-grants-announces-winners/) as/when those grant programs are open for submissions). The COP seeks to partner with established community and non-profit organizations on film and media projects that seek to grow, train and/or benefit the greater creative community at-large.
