Tribe continues to give to community organizations through charitable fund
The Siletz Tribal Charitable Contri-
bution Fund distributed $186,171.14 to
46 organizations today as it continued its
quarterly donations to nonprofit groups.
The Siletz Tribe has made contribu-
tions 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 dis-
tributed more than $11.4 million since its
inception in 2001.
Overall, the Tribe has honored its
tradition of sharing within the community
by distributing more than $14.7 million
through the charitable fund and other
Tribal resources. Chinook Winds has
donated more than $2.8 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.

cations is March 5, 2018. Eligibility for
