The Shanmei Community Development Association, which was established in 1995, decides how the profits are to be invested in community development and village welfare projects. These have included scholarships, cash gifts to newlyweds, and a monthly stipend of NT $ 600 to village elders.
而這些巨額的營利，就如達娜伊谷自治公約所言，全數回饋給山美的村民。八十四年成立的山美社區發展協會，決定將盈餘投入在部落公共發展與福利上，包括部落獎學金、結婚補助金，甚至部落每月發放的六百元老人津貼等。
