Pala Giving Program
Providing for those most in need has always been a priority for members of the Pala Band of Mission Indians.
Today the Pala Tribe continues the tradition through the Pala Community Giving Program.
The purpose of the Community Giving Fund is to support organizations seeking the resources to have an impact in a variety of philanthropic causes. In 2008 alone the Pala Tribe provided nearly $1.4 million to service organizations and organizations supporting needs in education, emergency relief, healthcare and the environment.
For more information on the Pala Community Giving Fund or to apply for funding please contact Elisa Muchmore at (760) 891-3539 or emuchmore@palatribe.com
