ton, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah,

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians enacted Ordinance §4.20,

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.
