The ceremony, which took place at Chinook Winds Casino, was the first of four donation ceremonies scheduled for this year. Monies are derived from a percentage of the net profits realized by the tribe through revenues generated by Chinook Winds Casino. The Siletz Tribe’s compact with the state of Oregon provides that the tribe donate a portion of its gaming revenues to charity. The Tribal Council, however, decided four years before the compact was negotiated that a percentage of gaming revenues should be allocated for charitable purposes. The tribe’s charitable giving concept was an integral part of its Plan for the Uses of Gaming Revenues adopted by tribal resolution in 1995. Among the organizations receiving cash donations were Portland State University Foundation, Siletz Cultural Heritage Committee, Oregon Websites and Watersheds Project Inc., Lincoln County School District, Siletz Hatchery Project, North Lincoln Hospital Child Development Center, Siletz Tribal Head Start, Toledo High School track team, Siletz Royalty Court, Toledo High School basketball team, Toledo Sports Complex Committee, and Paul Washington VFW Post 732. Requests that are reviewed by an ad- hoc committee must meet certain criteria to be considered for the grants (see page 14). Although the tribe has been making charitable contributions all along, the implementation of this plan was based on revenues generated in 1998. (See photo on page 19)
