Mission
SEE SCHEDULE O. Rose Community Foundation strives to advance inclusive, engaged and equitable Greater Denver communities through values-driven philanthropy. The Foundation envisions a thriving region strengthened by its diversity and generosity, and it utilizes the varied tools at its disposal - grantmaking, advocacy and philanthropic services - to advance this aspiration. Since its founding in 1995, the Foundation has granted more than $433 million to over 3,000 organizations and initiatives, including $79 million in facilitated grantmaking from donor-advised funds. The Foundation also supports nearly 100 nonprofit organizations in creating and growing endowments to sustain their vital work into the future, currently stewarding $76 million in endowed and designated assets. The Foundation has $400 million in total assets under management and deployed more than $32 million in discretionary, restricted and donor-advised grants in 2024.
Program accomplishments

Rose Community Foundation is committed to supporting our donors and fundholders in meaningful and purposeful philanthropic giving.Fund Distributions: Donor-advised fundholders recommended grants totaling $10.1 million to a broad range of community interests. The Foundation's philanthropy advisors help donors articulate values, narrow their philanthropic focus and identify goals and the impact they want to make through giving, as well as facilitate giving circles.Endowment Services: The Foundation received $1.6 million in contributions for new and existing permanent endowment and designated funds for local nonprofit organizations. The Foundation paid out $1.9 million to local nonprofit organizations who have established permanent endowments and designated funds at the Foundation.

- Grantmaking: The Foundation distributed $10.4 million in discretionary grantmaking directed by Rose Community Foundation staff, committees and trustees. Grantmaking cycles included a focus on supporting Jewish life in the region, advancing economic opportunity, and investing in the policy and advocacy ecosystem that advances inclusive, engaged and equitable Greater Denver communities.
- Initiatives: Rose Community Foundation partnered with the city of Denver, state of Colorado and peer foundations on the Newcomers Fund which provides grants to local nonprofits that are providing services to new immigrants arriving from Central and South America. Grantmaking from that fund deployed $2.2 million to local nonprofits. The Foundation also partnered with funders statewide to launch the Colorado Safe Futures Fund which will distribute grants to support fire-arm related harm prevention. The Foundation was selected by the State of Colorado in 2022 to house the Refugee Integration Fund, which distributes federal dollars to local nonprofits serving eligible populations.
