Lifeology AZ, Inc. (Phoenix, AZ) - $25,000
Lifeology AZ, Inc works individually and collaboratively to create self-sufficient young people between the ages
of 14-29 and as a licensed emergency shelter for runaways and homeless youth ages 12-17. Lifeology provides
transitional services within the five core transitional domains of Employment/Career, Educational Opportunities,
Living Situation, Community Life Functioning, and Personal Effectiveness and Well Being. These services are
provided through targeted outreach using the Mobile Learning and Development Lab with collaborative
partners and in the community or locations where young people live. The Rosendin Foundation will help
Lifeology AZ add trained part-time street outreach team members to go out on weekends, provide services, and
offer shelter to young people who may not otherwise know about Lifeology's programs and services.
The Teen Project, Inc. (Sun VAlley, CA) - $20,000
The Teen Project (TTP) mission is to provide healing and hope to young women who have survived childhood
abuse and neglect, engagement with the foster care or correctional justice systems, and homelessness and/
or human trafficking. What was one house serving seven girls in 2007 has grown to 10 facilities with 126 beds
in Orange and Los Angeles counties. These facilities provide comprehensive, transformational, and trauma-
informed services to approximately 400 young women annually. The Rosendin Foundation's support is for TTP's
College House, which serves young women who have beaten the odds by coming out of foster care or human
trafficking with their dreams for higher education intact. The College House was the first program operated by
TTP and has provided over 120 young women with a safe space, community, supportive services, life skills, and
everything needed to succeed in school and transition into self-sustaining adulthood. In addition to shelter,
food, and all basic needs, the College House provides residents with transportation assistance, counseling, over
100 hours of life skills training, all school books and supplies (tools and uniforms), college scholarships, and
mentoring.
Since we started The Rosendin Foundation, our Grant Making Committee assisted the Board to distribute $1,195,500
in monetary grants to 174 unique nonprofits making significant local and national impact.
Each year we continue to grow and support our communities more. But it is not just monetarily, we have also
donated our time and talents. In 2022, our Communications Committee planned and organized two service days in
almost every geographic area where Rosendin and MPS employees office. We had 261 volunteers participate in our
Giving Week Service Activities in March and an additional 218 volunteers participate in our Fall Service Days.
Our Fundraising Committee knocked it out of the park with our
Inaugural Golf Tournament and Auction where we netted $196,000+!
We secured our first annual sponsor (Milwaukee Tools). We recruited
109 sustaining monthly donors through paycheck contributions. We
would appreciate your assistance in attaining our goal of 120 sustaining
donors by year end. As a Rosendin or MPS employee, your donations to
The Rosendin Foundation are 100% matched. Please join us and have
your name listed in our 2022 Annual Report and on our website.
We look forward to continuing to care, share, listen, excel, innovate, and be thankful in the new year. If you are
interested in participating more, please reach out to us at info@therosendinfoundation.org.
With Gratitude,
Jolsna Thomas, President
