The mission of 350 Colorado (350CO) is to work locally to help build the global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis and transition to a sustainable future.
350 Colorado supports local chapters of the 350 network rather than funding a broad mix of unrelated organizations, and its recent grants show that pattern clearly. In 2025, the largest award went to 350 Vt in Burlington, Vermont for $21,200, followed by $18,050 to 350 Nh in Dover, New Hampshire. Other grants in the same year went to chapter groups in San Diego, Madison, Tyngsboro, Seattle, Oakland, and Minneapolis, indicating a chapter-to-chapter funding model tied to climate advocacy work. The foundation’s mission is to help build the global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis and transition to a sustainable future. Its stated focus areas center on climate change mitigation, opposition to fracking and extreme energy, clean energy and fossil fuel divestment, air quality and public health, local policy initiatives and ballot measures, and grassroots mobilization. Leadership is listed under Micah Parkin. With annual grants of $104,250 and total assets of $347,583, 350 Colorado operates at a modest scale while supporting a national network of aligned local groups.
Climate policy and fossil-fuel opposition sit at the center of 350 Colorado’s grantmaking. The foundation gave $12,500 to 350 San Diego in San Diego for climate advocacy work, and another $12,500 to 350 Wisconsin in Madison, showing support for state-based organizing on the same issue. Its portfolio also includes chapter-level funding in the Northeast and West. It awarded $12,500 to 350 Mass in Tyngsboro and $12,500 to 350 Seattle in Seattle, both part of the 350 network. Smaller grants extended the same model to other regions. 350 Bay Area in Oakland received $7,500, and 350 Mn in Minneapolis received $7,500. Across those awards, the common thread is support for grassroots climate organizing rather than project funding tied to a single locality.
Typical awards cluster tightly around the middle of the range: the p25 grant size is $11,250, the median is $12,500, and the p75 is $13,888. That narrow spread suggests a standardized chapter-support approach, with a few larger awards at the top end. The recent grants list shows repeated use of the 350 network brand across multiple states in the same year, which points to recurring support for affiliated organizations rather than one-off project grants. The foundation is not a fund that supports individuals, and it does not make program-related investments.
