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.

For more information on what we believe in and how we are trying to change the world for the better, please review our Theory of Change.
