First, the Foundation created three pooled funds the COVID-19 R.E.S.P.O.N.D. Fund, the Community Action Fund for Racial Justice and the Fund for Jewish Nonprofit Resiliency and encouraged donors to join in our equity-oriented grantmaking. In less than a year, 119 donors contributed $900,000 to the three funds, amplifying the Foundation's grantmaking reach and impact. Additionally, for the first time in our history, the Foundation created an opportunity for donor-advised fundholders to review curated portfolios of COVID-19 mitigation grant application summaries, culled from the Foundation's broad applicant pool.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$23.8MProgram 2 [2020]
Rose Community Foundation committed the bulk of our 2020 grantmaking dollars to a multi-faceted response to COVID-19, with a particular focus on supporting the people and communities most impacted by the pandemic. Our dollars shored up services for basic needs, mental and behavioral health, back-to-work and job-loss support, and virtual programming. We continue to foster our ability to leverage policy and advocacy work in pursuit of our mission, endorsing and financially supporting the passage of several ballot measures that will help our community in the immediate aftermath of COVID-19 and for decades to come. The Foundation also responded to national tragedies that focused long-overdue attention on structural racism within our community, making grants to Black-led, Black-serving grassroots organizations working to address systemic inequities across a range of areas throughout Greater Denver by creating opportunity, bolstering resilience and empowerment, growing awareness and understanding, and advocating for just and inclusive systems and policies. Additionally, our long-standing commitment to our region's Jewish community also adapted to the unique needs of 2020. We recalibrated our Jewish Life grantmaking strategies to prioritize bolstering nonprofits' responses to emerging needs, sustaining and nurturing Jewish traditions in a time of physical isolation, mitigating the virus' short- and mid-term impacts on the Jewish community and supporting long-term organizational recovery and stabilization.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––Donor Development and Endowment Services
