The Foundation focuses on supporting grant seekers within the Greater New Orleans area, aiming for a successful and vibrant city. It prioritizes grants towards education, human service organizations, arts (performing and applied), community development, and governmental oversight activities. It supports capital projects and programmatic requests, with a preference for projects showing broad private sector support and, for operational support, favors short-term multi-year requests.
The RosaMary Foundation Grant Program is designed to support organizations through gifts for educational, charitable, community improvement, and literary purposes. The foundation accepts and reviews proposals year-round but conducts interviews by invitation only. Grant decisions are made during the trustees' meetings, typically held twice a year in the spring and fall.
