In an effort to better meet the growing challenge presented by the current economic conditions, we are implementing new procedures in 2019 that encourages organizations to apply for funding and schedule presentations with our Community Outreach Committee. It is our privilege to give back to the surrounding communities in a way that positively impacts those who live here, and we diligently seek sponsorship of organizations which fulfill that vision. Morongo traditionally receives hundreds of funding requests annually, and that number rises annually as the needs of the less fortunate continue to grow across the Inland Empire. These non-profit organizations include veterans and military groups, homeless shelters, family support services, educational services and hospitals. Through our Community Outreach Department, Morongo has provided more than $5 million over the past five years to support local and national non-profit organizations which serve our surrounding region as well as greater Southern California. Central to the core values of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians is an unwavering commitment to aid those who are in need and to support programs that strengthen local communities.
