Delivering bold change, within our lifetime

Established in 2018 by Katie and Amnon Rodan as a spend-down foundation, the Rodan Family Foundation is committed to driving strategic, radical change within the founders’ lifetimes.

We’re bringing a novel approach to philanthropy.

We prioritize overlooked white space opportunities.

We invest in areas that lack coordinated investment, ownership or accountability, and where the potential benefits accrue to the larger community.

We’re catalysts, investing to build momentum.

We bring much-needed resources to address unmet needs. We fund visionary, measurable projects and ideas intended to drive meaningful impact and long-term sustainability.

We start small but have big ambitions.

We believe change follows focus, discipline and commitment. We share our work with national partners to extend the reach and success of our initiatives to other communities.
