ABOUT ROSE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Rose Community Foundation strives to strengthen local communities, expand opportunities and address critical needs in Greater Denver and beyond through values-driven philanthropy across a range of issue areas including health, economic opportunity, education, Jewish life and more. The Foundation envisions a thriving region strengthened by its diversity and generosity, and it utilizes the varied tools at its disposal – grantmaking, advocacy, convening, investments and philanthropic services – to advance this aspiration.
Rose Community Foundation originated from the 1995 sale of Rose Medical Center, founded by the Jewish community in the late 1940s at a time when Jewish doctors and doctors of color were denied hospital privileges elsewhere due to discrimination. Since the Foundation’s inception three decades ago, Rose Community Foundation has granted more than $450 million to nonprofit organizations and initiatives in the seven-county Greater Denver area and beyond. The Foundation has $433 million in total assets under management, with annual grantmaking and distributions of nearly $30 million – roughly $11 million of which are the Foundation’s annual discretionary grantmaking dollars and approximately $10 million of which are granted from donor-advised funds to nonprofit organizations of their choosing around the state, country and world.
