Rose Community Foundation grant opportunities include a blend of open-call, invite-only and responsive grantmaking. Along with continued grantmaking to support the region’s Jewish communal organizations, given the Foundation’s roots in the Jewish community, our grantmaking is structured around the following interconnected thematic areas:
Democracy
Grant recipients include nonprofits amplifying the voices and advancing the priorities of those furthest from opportunity. Efforts range from policy and advocacy activities that cultivate systems change or influence the levers of policy to community organizing, leadership development and voter engagement efforts that help build a base for inclusive civic engagement.
Opportunity
Grant recipients include nonprofits working to remove barriers to self-sufficiency, wellbeing and wealth building. We seek to close gaps in access and opportunity and increase pathways to success for individuals and communities furthest from opportunity.
Belonging
Grant recipients include organizations creating environments where individuals of all backgrounds feel respected, supported, safe and valued, and can successfully live, work, create and belong. Efforts aim to strengthen communities’ resiliency, vibrancy and opportunities for cross-cultural exchange.
