The Roth Family Foundation was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1966, by Harry Roth, Louis Roth, and Fannie Roth. Upon the deaths of the founders and the sale of the family business, Louis Roth Clothes, the Foundation was funded. The Foundation continues to include all family members, with two generations presently involved. Philanthropy has always been a strong family value: to help others who may be less fortunate, to protect freedom and human and civil rights, and to be able to give back to the community and support causes that the family cares about deeply. Compassion, justice, fairness, access, and respect for others are part of the family values, which inspire and motivate the Foundation’s giving.
The Foundation’s mission is commitment to progressive social change. The Foundation invests in organizations that inspire hope, dignity, and creativity, primarily in the Los Angeles area. Grounded in a legacy of social justice and civil rights, the Foundation helps connect communities to the services, opportunities, and tools for self-empowerment and self-expression.
