Siletz Tribe Donates nearly $427,000 to State, Local and County Charitable Organizations

In February, the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund distributed nearly $427,000 to 28 state, county, and local organizations. These contributions will support cultural activities, education services, healthcare services, public safety organizations, and historic preservation activities.

Since 2001, the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund has made quarterly donations to nonprofit groups in the Siletz community, Lincoln County, and the state of Oregon. To date, the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund has donated more than $21.9 million to charitable organizations.

The positive impact of these partnerships continues to resonate throughout the heart of Oregon and Native American communities. The Siletz Tribe is committed to continuing the tradition of giving back and is proud to play a part in supporting and uplifting our community.

For example, last year, the Fund provided two grants to the Arc Achievement Program of Lincoln County. One grant allowed seven people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities to attend day support programs at no cost. Read more about this partnership in the Lincoln County Leader.

AN INVESTMENT IN SALEM'S FUTURE

HELP BRING THE SILETZ CASINO PROJECT TO SALEM

From the locals who will work at the property, to the local businesses who benefit from having more visitors in town, an endeavor like this is an investment in Salem's future. This project is a unique opportunity to add thousands of living wage jobs, spur economic growth, bring world-class entertainment, uplift Tribal communities and capitalize on significant infrastructure modernizations.

In addition, the project includes a unique revenue-sharing proposal. The Siletz Tribe plans to share a percentage of the net revenue with eligible participating Oregon tribes, many of whom are located in rural areas. The State of Oregon and local governments like the City of Salem will also receive a percentage of the net revenue, which will be reinvested into community improvements and programs. Please, listen to our community and say yes to this investment in Salem’s future.
