Funding Opportunities
Founded on a tradition of philanthropy, we strive to create positive, sustainable, systemic change for our community.
We envision a thriving Greater Denver region, strengthened by its diversity and generosity. Our approach includes programmatic grant support, policy and advocacy work, proactive responses to emerging issues and opportunities, and donor engagement.
Geographic Funding Area
We accept applications for programs that serve the seven-county Greater Denver community of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson Counties. Programs with a broader geographic focus may apply, however, the application must address the program’s relevance to and impact on people living within these seven counties.
Grants Portal
The grants portal allows organizations to manage their application to, or grant from, Rose Community Foundation. All applications and associated documentation (grant reports, proof of matching funds, etc.) need to be accessed, completed and submitted through the online portal.
Open Opportunities
Newcomers Fund
At this time, the Newcomers Fund steering committee is prioritizing grants to organizations that are helping new immigrants with housing, resource navigation, and workforce and employment opportunities. We are interested in supporting nonprofits working at a larger scale – those serving 20 or more people. Learn more about the Newcomers Fund.
