Newton and Betty ROSENZWEIG Betty Rosenzweig, who passed away last year, and her husband, Newt, who passed away in 2002, were generous Arizonans who helped shape the civic and charitable landscape of our community through their professional and philanthropic endeavors. Their story began more than a half-century ago. A 1927 graduate of the University of Michigan, Newton Rosenzweig worked in his father’s downtown Phoenix jewelry store. Aft er serving in World War II as an army lieutenant in transportation and special services, Newt returned to booming post-war growth to expand his entrepreneurial and civic/cultural interests. He married Elizabeth J. Dabney, “Betty,” in 1956. Together, the Rosenzweigs helped launch, served on boards, and raised funds for more than 75 local organizations, including The Phoenix Symphony, Phoenix Art Museum, Valley of the Sun United Way, Foundation for Blind Children, American Jewish Committee, Arizona State University, and St. Luke’s, St. Joseph’s, and Phoenix Memorial Hospitals. In 2008, ACF staff interviewed Betty Rosenzweig for the Arizona Community Foundation’s 30th anniversary annual report. When asked about philanthropy, Betty said that only one word came to mind: “Newt.” She was speaking of her late husband, hailed as a civic giant and named Man of the Year by too many Valley organizations to list. Betty told us that it was Newt who worked with developer Del E. Webb to build what was known as the Rosenzweig Center, now Phoenix City Square. It was Newt who co-founded Phoenix’s Charter Government Committee in 1949. And it was Newt who, in 1978, convinced his brother Harry to join him in making a substantial joint gift to the Arizona Community Foundation. It was this act that established the fi rst recorded fund at ACF, and helped solidify the Foundation’s future. Newt never stopped giving, establishing a second fund at ACF in 1980, which Betty continued to advise aft er his passing. “When I married him, I was not used to being so philanthropic,” Betty said with emphasis. “But Newt felt Phoenix had given him a good life and his goal was not to get more, more, more. He didn’t have those urges.” Instead, she said, he wanted to give back to the community where he spent all 96 years of his life. Although the couple loved to travel, Arizona remained their heart and home, and Newt believed they had a responsibility to contribute to its welfare and growth. Generous Arizonans “He thought Phoenix should have a fund like other places, and that’s why he helped Newton and Betty start the Foundation,” she said. “Arizona was special to him. So was the Arizona Rosenzweig helped launch, Community Foundation. And you have to look aft er the
