About us
The Caroline Rose Foundation supports charities across a variety of sectors who are working to better the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. Through financial and advisory services as well as event and marketing support, we help charities to help others.
Our Story/Mission
The Caroline Rose Foundation was formed in memory of the late Caroline Rose Chin, recognising her contributions to community, championing her values and extending her love of helping others into the wider world.
We are not alone in our desire to better the planet and the lives of those who live here. We recognise the talent, the drive and the dedication of those working tirelessly across the not-for profit sector, putting their passion and knowledge into everything they do, and we want to help them do this.
