Chet Tchozewski is an environmental activist, social entrepreneur and founder of the RTC Impact Fund and the Global Greengrants Fund. He has served on the boards of the Chino Cienega Foundation, the Voqal Fund, the Environmental Grantmakers Association, and many others.

Chet was an activist and organizer in the peace and environmental movements in Boulder, Colorado from 1978-1987. He was affiliated with many organizations: Rocky Flats Truth Force (1978), Rocky Flats Coalition (1979), American Friends Service Committee (1980-83), Rocky Mountain Peace Center (1983-87), Eco, Cycle (1984-87), and Boulder Shelter for the Homeless (1986).

“Everything that is tearing us down today will become a memory, and this memory will be shared as an anecdote or a story or a poem or a play or a warning. It will be shared with another human being, who will then understand that he is not alone in his sadness. This is why we show up for others and tell our tales and listen to others. The great congregation meets daily, and you are someone’s angel today.”
