Chinook Fund – grants addressing social justice issues in Colorado

“Chinook Fund supports community organizations working on issues of racial, social, and economic justice in the state of Colorado. Chinook funds organizations working to challenge the root causes of oppression, rather than treating the symptoms. Eligible applicants must be based in communities facing injustice or oppression, including but not limited to communities of color, low-income communities, LGBTQ communities, disabilities communities, and immigrant communities. Organizations should have democratic leadership, decision-making, and organizing that is led by and accountable to people most directly impacted by the issue or injustice. Start-Up Grants of up to $4,000 are provided to groups just beginning their work; Established Grants of up to $10,000 are provided to groups that have been working successfully on social justice issues for a number of years. The next application deadline for both grant programs is August 21, 2015. Visit Chinook Fund’s website to download the funding guidelines and application forms.” [Source: Grant Station]
