Rose Foundation : Grant Seekers

For Grant Seekers

Most grant awards are enabled by restitution or cy pres payments, where the courts appoint the Foundation to act as trustee over a settlement fund, and limit the use of the funding to a specific geographic and/or issue area. Other grant awards, particularly those made through the Grassroots Fund or Fiscal Sponsorship Program, are enabled by grants from other foundations or individual donations. Therefore, although our philosophy of building community capacity for long-term sustainable solutions remains constant, the Rose Foundation's funding priorities may change from time to time based on the availability of funds and specific restrictions placed by the the contributor.

Grantmaking Philosophy
The Rose Foundation's grantmaking strategically focuses support towards projects and organizations that are building long-term solutions that respect, empower and improve their communities.

How to Apply for a Grant

The Rose Foundation's grantmaking is organized into a series of grantmaking funds, such as the Northern California Environmental Grassroots Fund or the Consumer Privacy Fund. Prospective applicants should carefully review the specific guidelines and application instructions for each grant fund.

Fiscal Sponsorship

The Rose Foundation extends fiscal sponsorship to new organizations and emerging projects whose goals and objectives closely match the Foundation's own.

Grants Database

A database of past grantees allows searches by group, issue and geographic location. Prospective applicants should carefully review these past awards to help determine if their project is a good fit for the Rose Foundation.
