Overview

The Chinook Fund provides grants - including start-up and seed funding - to grassroots organizations working for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice in Colorado, focusing on groups cut off from traditional funding streams. Chinook awards grants through periodic grant cycles (e.g. a Fall grant cycle) selected by a volunteer Grantmaking Committee via its Giving Project.
