About The Rockefeller Foundation

The Rockefeller Foundation is among the most respected and deep-rooted of American philanthropies yet has retained a sense of fleet-footedness, as seen by The Foundation’s swift response to the COVID-19 crisis. As from its earliest days more than a century ago, The Rockefeller Foundation is serving as a crucial catalyst, convener and innovator, helping the private sector and government do more to ease the pain of the pandemic.

All told, the Foundation has given more than $17 billion in current dollars to support thousands of organizations and individuals worldwide.
