The Siletz Tribe has made contribu

the Siletz community, Lincoln County and
the state of Oregon. The seven-member
charitable fund advisory board has dis

inception in 2001.
Overall, the Tribe has honored its
tradition of sharing within the com

million through the charitable fund and
other Tribal resources. Chinook Winds
has donated nearly $2.3 million in cash

various fundraisers as well as technical
support, advertising and manpower for
many events.
