The Rosendin Foundation is providing $2.3 million to 116 local, qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits.

The record-breaking amount is nearly quadruple last year’s distribution of $640k to 73 nonprofits, Rosendin officials tell the Digital Free Press with those efforts representing a significant increase in The Rosendin Foundation’s commitment to supporting local nonprofit organizations.

The Rosendin Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings together construction professionals to impact communities through financial grants and volunteer work. This year, it received 277 applications requesting over $7.7 million, according to a press release.

The board selected 70 new nonprofits and 46 previous recipients that had the greatest need and impact on the community to receive the funds, the release states.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the local nonprofits that will receive grants and look forward to seeing the positive impact these funds will have,” said Jolsna Thomas, President of The Rosendin Foundation. “Investing in local nonprofits is a way of planting seeds of opportunity, ensuring that vital programs have the necessary support to make a lasting impact and significant difference in communities.”

The Rosendin Foundation supports local nonprofits around the country, and since its inception, has donated over $4.2M to 296 nonprofit organizations that promote emotional, nutritional, and occupational health programs. The Foundation impacts these organizations by organizing volunteer service days and/or drives and providing financial grants and donations of up to $50,000 per organization.

Earlier this year 144 golfers, 22 volunteers, and 54 company sponsors raised over $200,000 at The Rosendin Foundation’s 3nd Annual Golf Tournament and Auction at the We-Ko-Pa Golf Club in Fort McDowell, Arizona.
