The Chinook Fund is accepting grants applications for 2021.

Please go to the Grants tab and choose Apply for a Grant from the drop down menu.  Applications will be accepted until September 15, 2021.  Any applications submitted after that date will not be considered.

TD has renewed its sponsorship of the Chinook Fund!

We are extremely grateful to TD for its ongoing support of the Chinook Fund and the LGBTQ+ community.

We are planning for the return of the Chinook Fund Dinner in 2021.  By October we expect will all be vaccinated and able to gather, once again, to break bread.  We are looking at venues and are in talks with sponsors.

We are thrilled to announce the Chinook Fund Grant recipients totaling $22,850 for 2020! 

Congratulations!  And thank you for everything you do for our community.

In the early days of the pandemic, it became clear hosting a large indoor dinner was not on this year. Although we considered alternative formats, we ultimately decided to take a pandemic pause on hosting any kind of events in 2020.

We hope the Chinook Fund Dinner will be back in the Fall of 2021.

In the meantime, we are continuing to raise funds for our endowment, safely deposited with the Calgary Foundation. The need in our community continues.  Our goals is to raise $50,000.  If we are successful, our endowment will surpass $600,000 and allow us to grant nearly $25,000 in 2021.

We hope you will join us….and give like there is a tomorrow.
