Grantmaking Opportunities

In addition to fulfilling your personal philanthropic goals through RSFF, we encourage you to partner with the Foundation's community impact grantmaking. Each year, we identify organizations or issues in the community or in our region, that deserve special funding from our un-restricted endowments. Generally, the Foundation will provide "stimulus" funds to begin the process and we then seek additional funding from our donor advisors, private foundations in the community, or individuals who we know support these causes.
