Mission

Chinook Fund supports community-based organizations working on issues of social and economic justice throughout Colorado. A community foundation, Chinook Fund pools the resources of the community to seed grassroots organizations making a positive systemic impact to improve the quality of life for all Coloradans.

About

The Chinook Fund is a community based foundation that supports community groups that are working for social change. That means we raise money primarily from individuals and give it out in small grants to a variety of grassroots efforts. Chinook is controlled by community-members who raise the money and distribute the grants. The grants are given to groups that challenge and try to change existing economic and social relationships and institutions that are inequitable and undemocratic. Grant proposals are reviewed by a committee of community-members and donors who conduct site visits and make funding decisions during two grant cycles per year. Chinook Fund staff and volunteers conduct training sessions related to racism, classism and others forms of oppression.
