Executive Board
The foundation was renamed in 2019 to reflect combining both former non-profits — Roseville Police Charities and Roseville Fire Charities.
At the same time a new board was recruited and elected to office. Three of our board members are Roseville residents, one board member from Roseville Fire, and one board member from Roseville Police. We have two advisors to the board – Police Chief Bergstrom and Fire Chief Bartee. All board members are volunteers and as such are not paid.
