Community Involvement
As Grand River Enterprises Six Nations Limited profits increased, the shareholders have continued to give back to their community. The creation of the Dreamcatcher Fund was an effort of Grand River Enterprises Six Nations Limited to improve the quality of life of individuals across the country. The Dreamcatcher Fund has sponsored children to participate in sports such as hockey and lacrosse; it has sponsored Little NHL teams so that these underprivileged teams can attend tournaments, and has sponsored students to facilitate attendance at post-secondary and post-graduate studies. The Dreamcatcher Fund has grown to be one of the largest aboriginal charities in existence.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
