COW CREEK UMPQUA INDIAN FOUNDATION AWARDS $406,996 IN NINTEENTH ROUND OF GIVING
Canyonville, Oregon... At a grant awards ceremony beginning at 10 AM at Seven Feathers Convention Center on Tuesday, June 19, the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation will distribute $406,996.00 to 42 organizations from seven southern Oregon counties.
The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians has a long tradition of giving back to the communities in which they live and work. In 1997, the Cow Creek Tribe formalized this tradition of philanthropy by establishing the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation.
The Foundation's mission is to offer assistance in youth education, to strengthen youth and family, to provide positive youth development, and to add to the quality of life to the people within the communities in Douglas, Coos, Deschutes, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, and Lane Counties. Since its beginnings the Foundation has awarded over $8 million in grants for the benefit of people in need. Awards are made semi-annually. Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation funding decisions are entirely separate from the philanthropic decisions made by the Cow Creek Tribal Board.
