Rose Community Foundation: A Reliable Partner in Challenging Times

In a time when many granting organizations are tightening their belts in response to uncertainty, the Rose Community Foundation continues to lead with values-driven philanthropy that advances inclusive and engaged communities in the Greater Denver area. Their commitment to a more equitable and resilient region has made them a valued partner to Mountain Resource Center at many important moments over the past decade.

This September, they demonstrated that commitment once again with a generous grant to support our general operations. This type of funding is especially meaningful for nonprofits. While many grants are restricted to specific programs or designated purchases—and we rely on those, too—general operating support keeps our lights on, our staff employed, and provides the flexibility needed to meet evolving community needs in real time.

We are deeply grateful for Rose Community Foundation’s ongoing partnership. Their support ensures we can remain responsive, steady, and accessible to the families who count on us every day. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier mountain community—one where neighbors can find stability, connection, and the resources they need to thrive.
