BENEFITS OF GAMING: Revenues associated with our gaming enterprise have provided numerous benefits for our tribe and surrounding communities. Since we opened our casino in 2019, we have been able to provide over $3.5 million to non-profits and organizations in Butte, Yuba and Sutter counties. We continue to develop and use our Enterprise Community Fund to improve lives and increase opportunity for all.
Importantly, our tribal revenues continue to provide opportunities for Enterprise Rancheria tribal members. Our human services programs are creating pathways to self-sufficiency through payments supporting education, professional trade job training and childcare, allowing our tribal members to achieve positive outcomes for families and individuals. In addition, our tribal housing program and associated financial assistance allows for our tribal members to have safe and reliable homes.
Finally, gaming revenues have allowed us to further our efforts of professional governance as an organization and plan for future generations.
GOALS & INITIATIVES: Tribal Council worked hard to develop a multi-year strategic plan built on a foundation of our core values: culture, trust, innovation, integrity, empowerment, sustainability, and community. Our strategic focus areas are workforce development, philanthropy, economic development, environmental and cultural resources, community infrastructure and healthy and safe communities. Associated with those strategies are specific initiatives that allow our tribe to remain focused on the future, making better lives for our tribal members and communities we share.
LEGISLATIVE: Generally, we are focused on all matters that impact Native Americans. Specifically, we support federal, state and local initiatives that provide a clear pathway and/or funding to achieve energy sovereignty, higher education, jobs, and the ability for federally recognized tribes to maintain their tribal member support systems. Human services programs, specifically health, are key to reduce addictions and promote rehabilitation and behavioral health services for Native Americans.
Regardless of federal or state leaders, or majority parties, it is important that Native Americans continue to have the support necessary to navigate barriers for health and wellness, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation for generations to come.
