Bill > SF2921

This bill appropriates $400,000 total ($200,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $200,000 in fiscal year 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to support youth programs focused on Oromo cultural heritage and arts. The funding will be administered by the commissioner of administration and granted to HIRPHA International, an organization that will implement these programs specifically in the metropolitan area (which is defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 473.121). The bill aims to support and celebrate the cultural traditions of the Oromo people, who are an ethnic group primarily originating from Ethiopia, by providing resources for youth-centered cultural programming in the Twin Cities metro region.
