How We Mobilize Action
Rose’s programs are united by the belief that those closest to the problem are the most equipped to solve it. By redirecting resources to groups representing marginalized populations, we build power where meaningful change originates.

Directing Remediation Payments Back to Affected Communities
Rose works with the legal community to channel restitution funds back to impacted communities. As the trustee for over 600 such funds, we maximize their reach and impact to protect watersheds, ensure clean air, and mitigate pollution, such as toxins and pesticides. Our extensive field network enables us to reach grantees delivering the greatest benefits to vulnerable populations.
