Tribe continues tradition of giving by donating more than $85,000 in May
The Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund distributed $85,209.20 to 38
organizations on May 2 as it continued its quarterly donations to nonprofit groups.
The Siletz Tribe has made contributions through employment, monetary donations
and cooperative measures to the Siletz community, Lincoln County and the state of
Oregon. The seven-member charitable fund advisory board has distributed more than
$8.5 million since its inception in 2001.
Overall, the Tribe has honored its tradition of sharing within the community by
distributing more than $10.9 million through the charitable fund and other Tribal
resources. Chinook Winds has donated nearly $2.3 million in cash and fund-raising
items since it opened in 1995. The casino also provides in-kind donations of convention
space for various fund-raisers as well as technical support, advertising and manpower
for many events.
