Community depends on Oregon tribe's philanthropy


The Confederated Grand Ronde Tribes operate one of the top 10 charitable foundations in Oregon.

The Spirit Mountain Community Fund is seeded with gaming revenues. The tribe gave out $4.6 million last year in grants for a total of nearly $25 million since 1997.

The importance of the fund was demonstrated when tribal leaders proposed to change the funding cycle. The change is on hold.
