They have become the largest philanthropic benefactor for Indian Country nationally and one of the largest charitable givers in Minnesota through their substantial contributions to various causes, organizations, and tribes across the region, state, and country. This includes more than $325 million donated to organizations and causes, $500 million in economic development loans to other tribes, and significant support for regional governments and infrastructure.
