History of The Herbert and Audrey Rosenfield Fund
The Rosenfield Fund’s mission is to promote social change through technological innovation and education. We operate a grantmaking program which aims to encourage and nurture community-serving higher education institutions and social impact-oriented entrepreneurial incubators.
In the early 1970s, together with neighbors and colleagues, Herb and Audrey had already established the Chambers-Canal Civic Association (CCCA) with the aim of maintaining the community vibrancy of the downtown area, following the construction of the World Trade Center.
