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.
In 2025, we are focusing on the ways in which Rose Community Foundation can help mitigate the local impacts of federal policy shifts and ensure the resiliency of our communities. To share your organization’s work with our grantmaking team, please complete this brief form.
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 not accepting unsolicited applications while we try to prioritize the highest needs in the face of looming uncertainty around policy changes at the federal level. We are currently fundraising for more resources to be able to deploy to nonprofits across Colorado.
Interested nonprofits, please fill out this form to share about your work and needs.
