OUR GRANTS
As a charitable organization, Rose Pak Community Fund makes grants to a broad range of groups and institutions that promote social welfare throughout the Bay Area. Our philanthropic approach, and our core areas of grantmaking, remain connected to the ethos and values of Rose Pak, a true San Francisco icon who remains a guiding light for our community.
Since 2017, Rose Pak Community Fund and its similar named affiliate have awarded over $720,000 in grants to programs and projects directly affecting Chinatown and the AAPI community. These grants span diverse areas, including economic vitality, public health, education and future leadership training, and civic engagement participation.
Grant applications are by invitation only.
