With these steps the Siletz Tribe established the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund (STCCF) with a seven-member Advisory Board to make recommendations to Tribal Council on the distribution of gaming revenues for charitable purposes.

Charitable funds are distributed quarterly to eligible charitable organizations and local government entities within the Siletz Tribe's 11-county service area of Lincoln, Tillamook, Linn, Lane, Benton, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas and anywhere in the U.S. to Native American organizations. STCCF application categories include: education, health, public safety, gambling addiction, prevention, drug and alcohol treatment, housing, the arts, environment and natural resource preservation, cultural activities, historical preservation and other charitable purposes.
