The Rockefeller Foundation has launched its inaugural cohort of U.S. Big Bets Fellows — 12 changemakers advancing bold solutions to strengthen communities from coast to coast, including in Alaska, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Over a four-month fellowship, these leaders will engage in curated programming, peer networking, and professional development designed to help them scale their efforts in driving inclusive economic growth and building healthier, more resilient systems across the country.
