Operating without city, state, or federal funding, Rosie’s Place relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations to fulfill its mission. The organization is committed to social justice and equity, ensuring that all women have access to the resources they need to maintain their dignity and achieve self-sufficiency.
