THE DAVID ROCKEFELLER FUND INC
About this foundation
The David Rockefeller Fund was established in 1989 by David Rockefeller and his wife Peggy to carry out their annual charitable giving. The Fund describes itself as a family foundation that invests in catalytic ideas, people, efforts, and institutions working toward ecological regeneration, justice system transformation, and art for social impact. It supports U.S.-based nonprofit organizations across three program areas: Arts, Climate, and Justice, and provides a limited number of grants each year. The Fund primarily provides general operating support to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations and occasionally makes project-specific or smaller discretionary awards. The site states the Fund identifies new opportunities via recommendations and partners and conducts due diligence; it explicitly does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry.
