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. The Foundation envisions a thriving region strengthened by its diversity and generosity, and it utilizes the varied tools at its disposal—grantmaking, donor engagement, voice and leadership, and investments—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 inception, the 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.
