The White Rose Foundation, Incorporated, was founded in Denver, Colorado, on January 17, 2007, by members of the Denver (CO) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, an organization of professional women of color that addresses disparities in the Black community. The foundation is a private 501(c)(3) entity formed for charitable and educational purposes and the incorporators are Ida S. Daniel, Sharon Daniels, MaryAnn Franklin, Tamika M. Pumphrey and Sandra M. Roberts-Taylor.

The purpose of The White Rose Foundation is to promote, encourage, assist, and engage in any and all kinds of charitable work to improve the educational, social, and economic welfare of people of color and other disadvantaged persons. To that end, The White Rose Foundation supports and provides funding to the Denver (CO) Chapter’s program facets, including The Arts, Health and Human Services, International Trends and Services, National Trends and Services, and Services To Youth.

The White Rose Foundation also provides community support through awarding grants, partnerships, funding, service, and education to various other nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado that share our mission.
