01What it does

What Rose Group for Cross-Cultural Understand does

Mission

Our primary purpose is to promote better understanding between the peoples of the u.s. And china via film and cultural exchanges as well as cultural presentation. Our annual chinafest in richmond, partnering with virginia museum of fine arts and university of richmond, offers exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, family day and other china-related programs. We also help other cultural and educational entities in the us to stage exchanges with china, and vice versa. In the past, we published booklets, "learning and thinking about china", and made the documentary film, "the secret of healing, and the science of traditional chinese medicine" which has been broadcast on pbs in central virginia.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. Our main event chinafest consistently draws audiences 10,000-13,000 during the four-day event, from richmond and beyond. We developed a virtual presence at both vmfa and u of richmond, and will keep it even though we are back to in-person. All of our events are free to the general public, and have been well established.

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
