Aging

The AARP Foundation is AARP’s affiliated charity. We offer direct community services, education programs and information that provide security, protection and empowerment as people age.

Jewish Women’s Fund of Colorado (JWFC), a donor-advised fund of Rose Community Foundation, is committed to helping women become effective catalysts for change in the public, private and social sectors.

JWFC employs a three-pronged strategy:

In 1996 Lin Carleen founded The Women’s Fund of Greater Birmingham (TWF) to create an endowment fund to honor the memories of her mother and infant daughter, both of whom did not have the opportunity to reach their full potential as women. The lessons of her own life and the lives of women she had worked with in various community organizations made her sensitive to the gap between women’s unique needs and the resources currently devoted to meeting them.

A Fund for Women, a component fund of The Madison Community Foundation was established in 1993 to improve the lives of girls and women in our community. Since that first year, when a group of original visionary donors put together an endowment fund of $100,000, the fund has grown to over $1.4 million. Even more importantly, A Fund for Women has given over $620,000 back to our community in less than 15 years.
