Visit timeline.chinookfund.org to learn more through our interactive timeline. 941 Grants $3.1 Million Given 352 Organizations Funded Since 1987 CHINOOK FUND | Annual Report 2018 3 LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Chinook Fund Community, It has been a pleasure to be so warmly welcomed as the new Executive Director, joining a dynamic community of social justice leaders. As we move into the next year together, I am ready to dream big as we craft a renewed vision to seed social justice movements in Colorado. I am inspired and humbled to witness the brave leadership of our grantee communities on the frontlines fighting tirelessly for land rights, affordable housing, community corrections reform, worker rights, health equity for communities of color, and other critical issues. Their actions from the ground up truly embody Chinook Fund’s values of liberation, community, integrity, and leadership. I’m proud that our community shows up for groups like Denver Homeless Out Loud, who exhibit brave leadership in the face of rising inequity: “We have come to a point in this country where we have to fight at every level just for the right to survive in public space. As the City of Denver raises rent and privatizes public space, those who lose access to housing and find themselves living on the streets are criminalized for just being without a home. We at Denver Homeless Out Loud have said enough is enough, we are taking this to the people! The Denver Right to Survive Initiative will be on the ballot for May 2019 - the first time ever in the nation an initiative to protect the rights of homeless people has been on a ballot. Get ready to VOTE!” ~ Terese Howard, Organizer The Right to Survive campaign and the teachings of transformative justice leaders, such as Mariame Kaba, remind us that no one is disposable. It is time to commit to individual and collective practices that nurture our relationships and communities so that every one of us feels a sense of belonging. It is in this spirit that Chinook Fund took a leap with the Giving Project model of community grantmaking. 4 CHINOOK FUND | Annual Report 2018 By nurturing meaningful relationships across race and class, the Giving Project creates a space to democratize grantmaking while unleashing the power of collective giving and courageous fundraising to resource groups like Denver Homeless Out Loud. adrienne maree brown reminds us that movements must “move at the speed of trust,” as they are only as strong as our individual relationships. We must build relationships rooted in solidarity and reciprocity. We must resist the urge to isolate in the face of hardship, and instead move towards each other, towards deeper connection. The reality is that we are all safer living in interdependence--when everyone is valued, when each of us has enough. Our courageous grantee communities understand that the real wins come from the hard work of building trusting relationships and cultivating critical connections as they organize block by block. I thank you for being at our side as we invest in grassroots action, community-driven solutions, and justice. Over the coming years, I look forward to dreaming and building with you to strengthen Chinook Fund’s vision as an anchor of resource mobilization efforts supporting social justice movements across Colorado. With hope and gratitude, Crystal Middlestadt Executive Director CHINOOK FUND | Annual Report 2018 5 OUR VALUES OUR VALUES As we do our work, we are guided by the following values: LIBERATION In our words and actions, we honor the inherent dignity, strength and wisdom of the individual and the group. We actively challenge practices that demean and isolate people, and cultivate practices that bring people together across our differences to achieve justice and peace. COMMUNITY We build caring, respectful relationships with one another. Recognizing our interdependence, we are committed to action that serves the common good. We honor our relationship with the natural world, which sustains us all. INTEGRITY We are inclusive, accessible and transparent in our work, and advocate for the same in other institutions. We understand the power and responsibility that comes with being a steward of financial resources, and are accountable to the community that both supports and relies on us. LEADERSHIP We encourage learning, experimentation, and innovative thinking, and support the development of emerging leaders. We embrace our own role as leaders in the movement for social justice philanthropy, and are willing to take strategic risks in service of our vision of a just world. 6 CHINOOK FUND | Annual Report 2018 STAFF, BOARD & VOLUNTEERS STAFF Crystal Middlestadt Sueyeun Juliette Lee Jessica Nelson Chelsea Manley Nora Bashir Executive Director Program Director Operations & Events & Communications Executive Director (April 2018 - Present) Grants Manager Coordinator (Sept. 2013 - Nov. 2017) (Jan. 2017 - July 2018) BOARD OF DIRECTORS Nancy Hernandez Mac Liman Courtney Banayad Ken Stern Anaya Robinson Board Chair Board Secretary Board Treasurer (Sept. 2016 - Sept. 2018) Sierra Fleenor Brenda Sears (Sept. 2016 - Aug. 2017) (May 2013 - Aug. 2017) VOLUNTEERS GIVING PROJECT ALUMNI CO-CHAIRS Emma Piller | Fellow Katie Terrazas Hoover & Heather Schreck Julian DeGroot-Lutzner | Fellow Spring 2017 | Giving Project Alumni Co-Chairs Marcela Onate-Trules | Fellow Lucy Loomis | Finance & Investment Committee Tina Robbins & Sanjay Roberts Vikki Fininen | Finance & Investment Committee Fall 2017 | Giving Project Alumni Co-Chairs CHINOOK FUND | Annual Report 2018 7 GIVING PROJECT ABOUT 9 ANALYSIS SESSIONS The Giving Project is an innovative program Build shared analysis of race and class. for leadership development and social justice Build a cross-class, cross-race social 6 philanthropy.

Strange Kind of Woman Hush Speed King The first known Purple tribute was recorded as early as 1972. An unknown, starving band named Thin Lizzy (which consisted of Bell, Downey & Lynott) were offered a lump sum of money to record some Deep Purple songs. (The album contains also a few non-DP tracks.) They did - with the help from two Irish guys. The album came out in early 1973. It wasn't a success. In February, Thin Lizzy had a top ten hit with a single of their own. Read more about it here.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

Il se reforme dans la foulée avec Richard McCracken à la basse et John Wilson aux fûts. En Novembre1968, le trio ouvre pour Cream lors de la tournée d’adieu du groupe d’Eric Clapton à Londres. Le nouveau TASTE déménage alors à Londres où il signe sur le label Polydor en 1969. La même année, TASTE enregistre ses deux premiers albums studios, l’éponyme Taste et On The Boards, ce dernier aux influences très jazzy : Rory se permet de jouer du saxophone sur de nombreux titres. TASTE commence à tourner aux Etats-Unis et au Canada ouvrant pour Blind Faith, le nouveau projet d’Eric Clapton et de Ginger Baker. La prestation la plus remarquée du trio irlandais se passe en 1970 à l’Ile de Wight où TASTE côtoie des musi- ciens aussi brillants que Jimi Hendrix et The Who. Le public acclamera si fort TASTE que le groupe exécutera 5 rappels ! À la fin de l’année 1970, TASTE effectue une nouvelle tournée européenne avant un dernier concert le soir du Nouvel An à Belfast.

They have all worked with some of the UK’s finest bands and musicians in their musical careers, including being previous members of Hilton Valentines Animals, The Animals, and Animals II.

Irish Rock Music Amid a Time of Troubles: Thin Lizzy and U2 as a Bridge during a Time of Division An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of History. By Jacey Thomas Under the mentorship of Dr. Alan C. Downs ABSTRACT The Troubles were a period of crisis and violence in Ireland in the latter half of the twentieth century. Loyalists, Unionists, Republicans, and Nationalists brutally fought against each other over the issue of whether or not Northern Ireland should remain in the United Kingdom or join the Republic of Ireland to form one united country. The conflict also resulted in ethnic and religious tensions for many Protestants and Catholics who were compelled to choose sides over this issue, owing to their ties to the deep-rooted history of animosity between the two Christian populations.

  • Them-Van Morrison Chronology 1956-1967
    Compiled from books, articles, press clippings, liner notes, interviews (numerous radio/TV/press audio/video interviews with relevant information have yet to be transcribed), contracts (and private correspondence) too numerous to cite properly. Most of these materials are of public record, though located only through extreme diligence, while a scant few come from private correspondence with individuals who had first-hand documentation/knowledge/experience of these events. August 31, 1963 is the earliest specifically noted date, Van's 18th birthday, celebrated in Heidelberg, West Germany while on tour with "The International Monarchs". Them had, from best accounting, 15-16 working lineup changes before Van Morrison departed circa August 1966. This document is anti-copyright, to be freely copied and distributed for information and research purposes.
