Rose Community Foundation is committed to supporting our donors and fundholders in meaningful, purposeful philanthropic giving.Fund Distributions: Donor-advised fundholders recommended grants totaling $8.5 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 $4.5 million in contributions for new and existing permanent endowment and designated funds for local nonprofit organizations. Our Endowment Building Pathways are designed to give nonprofit staff and board members the training and support to integrate endowment building and legacy giving into their development work and incentives to help launch or grow an endowment fund.
Initiatives: Rose Community Foundation partnered with the city of Denver, state of Colorado and peer foundations to launch 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 $1.2 million to local nonprofits. At the end of 2022, the Foundation was selected by the State of Colorado to house the Refugee Integration Fund, and through the end of 2023, over $8 million was committed to local nonprofits serving eligible refugee populations. Additionally, the Foundation is the fiscal sponsor for the Colorado Media Project, which deployed grantmaking in support of local journalism.
Grantmaking: The Foundation distributed $12.4 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 equitable economic opportunity, supporting social-emotional learning in schools, investing in the policy and advocacy ecosystem that advances inclusive, engaged and equitable Greater Denver communities, supporting immigrants and refugees and more.
