We invest in founders who are reshaping outdated industries. We believe in a world where top tier fintech products help the 99% grow their wealth and build businesses. Where everyday people have transparent, efficient, and attentive healthcare experiences. Where managers and front-line employees in legacy industries have tools that save time, increase transparency, and take minutes to learn (vertical SaaS).

Colorado Solidarity Fund’s mission is to invest in Colorado’s solidarity economy and build economic education among our members while abiding by the values of collective power, equity, community, and inclusivity. CSF invests in locally-owned cooperative and worker-owned businesses to help build and strengthen Colorado’s solidarity economy. We recognize that many individuals and businesses have faced systemic barriers to acquiring capital and traditional lenders may be reluctant to lend to cooperative businesses. CSF hopes to assist those community-based businesses by using our collective power of investment to foster a more equitable and inclusive lending environment through flexible, lower-interest loans. ----- Why do people join Colorado Solidarity Fund? ----- Our members want to divest from corporate finance. Our members want to invest in local businesses. Our members believe in the cooperative business model. Our members want to see more worker-owned businesses. Our members want to learn about investing in a supportive environment. Our members value the way that investment clubs distribute risk. ----- What is a cooperative? ----- A cooperative or co-op is a business where equity and governance are separated so that every member has one vote regardless of their economic stake in the company.

In a world where social divides run deep, there must exist organizations that not only build bridges, but also engage communities on all sides in closing the divides. This is Creative Strategies for Change (CSC). We work with schools, organizations, and communities, to mobilize arts and education for social justice. CSC programs and services include: consulting, leadership and professional development, workshops, residencies, performances, assemblies, and events.
