About Roc Usa
Roc USA LLC centers its grantmaking on resident ownership of manufactured home communities, pairing financing and technical support with capacity-building grants for the organizations that make those transitions possible. The largest recent award in the data was a $750,000 capacity building grant to Royal Oaks Cooperative Inc in Bath, Pennsylvania, a sign that the foundation’s support can reach well beyond small discretionary awards. Other sizeable grants went to the California Center for Cooperative Development in Davis and the Cooperative Development Institute in Northampton, both tied to the same capacity-building approach. ROC USA also uses mission support and community finance tools alongside grants, reflecting a structure that blends philanthropy with program-related investment activity. Its work is tied to preservation, affordability, and resident-controlled communities, with recipient organizations spanning cooperatives, housing intermediaries, and advocacy groups that support manufactured home community residents. The recent record shows a mix of major one-time awards and repeated support to some organizations across multiple years, especially in the capacity-building category.
What Roc Usa Funds
A central theme in Roc USA LLC’s grantmaking is nonprofit capacity strengthening for organizations working on resident ownership. The foundation gave $170,000 to the California Center for Cooperative Development for a capacity building grant, then followed with $5,194 in 2025 to the same group for the same purpose. It also supported the Cooperative Development Institute with $35,000 in 2024 and $11,267 in 2025, again both described as capacity building grants. In housing access and stabilization work, ROC USA provided $20,000 to Leap Housing Inc in Boise for capacity building and $10,000 to Casa of Oregon in Sherwood for mission support. The foundation also backed the National Consumer Law Center with a $15,000 mission support grant, showing that its giving includes advocacy and policy-oriented organizations as well as housing intermediaries.
How Roc Usa Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and p75 is $13,750. The recent record includes both very large and small grants, from $750,000 to $5,194, but most awards sit near the $10,000 mark. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including the California Center for Cooperative Development, the Cooperative Development Institute, Thistle, Leap Housing Inc, Neighborworks Montana, Nh Community Loan Fund, Northwest Cooperative Development Center, and Nortcountry Cooperative Foundation. ROC USA LLC is also structured beyond grantmaking: it makes program-related investments, and one active program, ROC USA Capital Financing, accepts unsolicited applications. Better Together Grants also accept unsolicited requests and are capped at $2,000.
