For more than 100 years, The Rockefeller Foundation has brought people together around the globe to try to solve the world`s most challenging problems and promote the well-being of humanity.

That`s why the Rockefeller Foundation fights to secure the fundamentals of human well-being—health, food, energy, jobs—so they`re within reach for everyone, everywhere in the world.
