The Philanthropist

Mr. Rosenkranz believes that his hands-on approach to giving is what makes his choices so successful when so many other foundations have a mix of successes and failures when it comes to giving. Not only is he hands-on when it comes to investing on the foundation’s behalf, but also when selecting the people and causes to enjoy the foundation’s benevolence.

He only gives to causes he supports personally and doesn’t accept solicitations for the funds, rather finds causes and then offers the financial support or funding that he is willing to offer. Over the years, The Rosenkranz Foundation has funded a diverse range of projects from endowing the Rosenkranz Writer-in-residence program at Yale University to patronizing Chinese artist, Mu Xin and underwriting Rosenkranz Court in Pierson College there are many exciting projects made possible by The Rosenkranz Foundation under the leadership and watchful eye of Robert Rosenkranz.

So far, it’s impossible to argue with the overwhelming success Rosenkranz has enjoyed as a man, a father, an investor, and a philanthropist. It should be exciting to see what the future has in store for him.
