The Rockefeller Foundation has worked around the globe since our founding in 1913. Today, the Foundation works in regions where we can leverage our assets, experience, and expertise to help realize Smart Globalization: Africa, Asia, and the United States.
Yet, the Foundation does not limit its operations to these locations alone. We also support innovations and interventions in communities that provide new learning and build partnerships, alliances, and networks.
Africa
We support work that unleashes economic growth—helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change and increase agricultural productivity, facilitating sustainable urban expansion and expanding affordable health services.
Asia
We support work that creates accessible, affordable health systems, shapes innovations in urban planning, finance and infrastructure, and reduces environmental and economic vulnerability.
North America
We support work that bolsters working families' economic security, builds resilience to climate change impacts, and enables sustainable and equitable metropolitan growth.
New York City
We support work that expands economic opportunity, promotes sustainable planning and growth, and fosters cultural innovation.
Developing Countries
We support work in developing countries of the Global South hemisphere, where economic opportunity is expanding but new vulnerabilities are emerging.
Our Global Work
We support work around the world to help more people tap into globalization's benefits and strengthen resilience to risk.
