Rose Foundation
Rose Foundation is a private foundation based in Vancouver, Washington. Its 2022 filing is marked as a final return: the foundation reported transferring all assets to a donor advised fund and completely liquidating the foundation with a cash transfer on December 31, 2022. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
