The Rose Carter Community Fund is a philanthropic initiative honoring Rosetta “Rose” Carter, a lifelong advocate for community empowerment, the Spano Foundation announced in a news release.

Her efforts have led to fair housing initiatives, consumer protection against predatory lending and providing resources for the community.
She was instrumental in establishing Eastern Gateway Community College and working to ensure displaced students were treated fairly, and has collaborated with various organizations, including the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation.
