Our Mission
The Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life in Rockland County by increasing charitable giving, connecting donors to community needs about which they care most, and to provide the leadership on critical community issues. Moreover, we aim to make a difference, and to give others the opportunity to do the same.

Our Vision
Philanthropy has the power to fulfill the dreams and vision of the Rockland community, and should be the responsibility of many and not just a few. We can make a difference, now and forever, for everyone who values our community.

Our Values
The Rockland Community Foundation exists and operates based on four pillars of values:

Trust. We are committed to being the number one trusted source in Rockland County for philanthropic causes. We put trust in the people in which we partner and seek their trust in return.

Integrity. We conduct our work in an honest and transparent manner, holding ourselves accountable to our commitments and for our words and actions. This affirms our commitment to financial security, transparency and accountability.

Commitment. We believe in the mission of the Foundation. That belief translates into compassion for the citizens of Rockland and for the community itself, and a commitment to our work.

Innovation. We seek new ideas and approach our work with flexibility, urgency, enthusiasm, and an entrepreneurial and passionate spirit.

Our Dedication to Diversity
One of Rockland's greatest strengths and assets is the diversity of its populous. As the community's foundation, we are committed to promoting equity and inclusion throughout the county we serve, and it is our obligation to model diversity and focus the community conversation on racial equality.
