Our Mission

The Rose Foundation supports grassroots initiatives to inspire community action to protect the environment, consumers and public health. To fulfill this mission, we:

• Raise money to award as grants to qualified organizations.

• Work directly in schools and in the community.

• Engage in local, state and federal policy research and advocacy.

Within this broad range of activities, all of Rose's work revolves around one or more of the following strategic themes:

• Build and maintain a bridge between the community and organized philanthropy.

• Foster community and environmental stewardship.

• Forge links between environmental stewardship and sustainable job creation.

• Harness economic power to leverage environmental sustainability.

• Respect the inalienable rights protected by our nation's constitution, and the essential human rights to clean air, clean water and individual dignity.
