Catalysts For Change...
Welcome to Rochester Area Community Foundation, your source for philanthropic opportunities that can help our community now and for generations to come.

Carlos Carballada, the city’s commissioner for economic development, greets Renee and Jeff Carter (far right) as they enter City Hall for the dessert reception. Richard and Francine Meade are next in line.Having awarded more than $240 million in grants since 1972, we offer the knowledge, experience, and leadership to address the needs of our region through the generosity of caring individuals. These catalysts for change have intense interest in many issues, and enthusiastically respond to new giving opportunities despite uncertain economic times. Taking time out to honor our community and celebrate our future, Richard and Francine Meade (at left) and Renee and Jeff Carter (see picture at right) recently gathered at Rochester’s City Hall during An Evening Out At Home. To see more photos, visit our gallery. (We also want to hear from first-time guests.)

We invite you to join an engaging family of philanthropists with a passion for giving, for greatness, and for achieving goals together.
