Applications for Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund due March 16 The next deadline for nonprofit organizations to submit applications to the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund is March 16. Submission deadlines are quarterly throughout the year. Eligible to apply are charitable orga- nizations and local governments within the Siletz Tribe’s 11-county service area (Lincoln, Tillamook, Linn, Lane, Ben- ton, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties) and American Indian organizations located anywhere in the United States. Grants are awarded for education, health, public safety, gambling addiction, prevention, drug and alcohol treatment, housing, arts, environment and natural resource preservation, cultural activities, historic preservation and other charitable purposes. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians enacted Ordinance §4.20, Distribution of Net Revenues Ordinance, on July 6, 1999, and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State of Oregon on Sept. 4, 1999. Through these two Tribal Council actions, the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund was created. Since its founding, the fund has distributed more than $9.6 million in charitable grants to more than 900 orga- nizations and agencies. If your charitable organization has a funding need, the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund may be able to help. Eligibility guidelines, deadlines, applica- tion form and requirements are posted at ctsi.nsn.us/charitable-contribution-fund. Individuals active in charitable and community service organizations are encouraged to learn more about the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund.
