The tribe gives generously on an annual basis to hundreds of local community groups. On both community outreach and social education fronts, Morongo has taken a leadership role.

More than two thirds of the Morongo workforce is composed of residents from the Banning Pass and desert cities. The tribe pays payroll taxes, unemployment benefits, employee benefits and provides health programs. The tribe now employs more than 3,000 people. With its diversification into non-gaming businesses, the tribe has become the largest private sector employer in the Banning-Beaumont region and is a major contributor to the Coachella Valley economy. The present $250 million destination which opened in late 2004, the Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa, is one of the largest tribal gaming facilities in the nation.

From this building evolved one of the oldest and most successful Native American casinos in California. In 1983, the path of Morongo’s future changed when tribal members started a modest bingo hall. The Morongo tribe has had to overcome many adversities as the reservation was one of nine small reservations set aside by President Grant by executive order in 1876.
