The Rosenbaum Foundations were founded in 1982 by Gabriella Rosenbaum and her daughters. Historically, our resources have been concentrated in pursuing substantial advances in a limited number of important areas through innovative, multi-year projects which contribute to the quality of life, both concrete and abstract, important to the community.

Since mathematics is the language of, and underlying structure for, the current renaissance in the sciences with their myriad technological applications, a primary mission of the Gabriella and Paul Rosenbaum Foundation has been support for basic research in the mathematical sciences. Foundation grants have gone to key researchers whose broad and deep knowledge of their fields also illuminates neighboring and even distant disciplines.

A concomitant Foundation thrust engages education. The alarmingly poor mathematics competency of students has drawn the Foundation into studying this problem and working to find solutions. The success of Foundation projects concerned with K-12 mathematics education has necessarily grown to national importance.
