My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a community organizer by profession, so I take the Chinook Fund phrase, "Change not Charity," very seriously. As a former member of the Grant Making Committee (GMC), I personally experienced this organization live out its' mission to a remarkable degree of excellence. This is evidenced by their diverse and inclusive volunteer base, who take Chinook Fund's mission to heart by driving the work forward in awarding grants to organizations who are investing in community-led leadership, which is the best way to create sustainable change. Before the 2016 elections I was honored and proud to be affiliated with this organization. After the 2016 elections, I feel a sense of urgency to support the work Chinook Fund propels forward, as it will be the front-line resistance to policies and practices that threaten our social fabric and democracy.
