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:
“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
—Aldo Leopold (1886–1948)
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
