The Foundation supports areas such as education, health, the environment, and more. The Tribe started the Foundation in October 2011 with profits from the Three Rivers Casino Resort, which the tribe manages. The Three Rivers Foundation has been a beacon of support for nonprofits, providing much-needed funding to programs all over Oregon. “Our board values the community and helping organizations that help so many families and individuals.”ĭue to long-term effects of the pandemic, it has been very tough for nonprofits. “It is important to us that we make an impact within our community and help organizations that work hard to get the extra funding they need to be successful,” says Doug Barrett, Tribal Council Member and Three Rivers Foundation Board of Trustees Chair.
