The Foundation's Four Pillars

Rose Villa Foundation provides four areas of service to residents and staff. These Four Pillars provide critical financial assistance for the catastrophic needs of residents who outlive their resources. We offer educational programs, workshops, and services to enrich the lives of all Rose Villa residents and their community. The Foundation collaborates closely with Rose Villa Inc. to pave a path of financial safety and wellbeing for life.


Resident Assistance

Core to the mission and fundraising work of the Foundation since 1963, this pillar provides financial assistance for housing and care to residents who have depleted their financial resources. Donations to this pillar provide a safety net that ensures that residents who have lived at Rose Villa for seven years will have resources necessary to continue to live at Rose Villa while maintaining their dignity and independence.

Education Enrichment

Knowing that we never stop learning, this pillar helps promote the financial, physical, mental, and social wellbeing of residents, family and the community through cutting-edge workshops and innovative speakers series.

Professional Services Support

This pillar provides support in the form of confidential one-on-one financial coaching and access to a vetted list of professional financial planners, fiduciaries, legal counselors, and tax service providers.

Unrestricted

Donations to this pillar allows the Board of Directors to determine how best to use your gift and leverage operational funds for specific improvements or programs that enhance the well-being of residents at Rose Villa.

Giving

Our community embodies a generous philanthropic spirit! There are so many ways that neighbors come alongside one another to make a difference.
