Mission:
The Chase Youth Foundation funds programs that inspire, recognize and empower Spokane County youth.

The Chase Youth Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization that assists in the development and coordination of resources in support of the mission and goals of the Chase Youth Commission by:
  • Coordinating fundraising efforts.
  • Identifying and establishing relationships with new funders as well as maintaining relationships with past funders.
  • Overseeing annual project budgets and administering general income and expenses as well as growing investments in the endowment fund.

“Now more than ever it is critical to engage youth in civic issues and to give them the tools to be advocates in their schools, neighborhoods and the Spokane community. I’m proud to be a part of an organization that gives our youth a voice and celebrates their unique talents and contributions.”

– Colleen
