My organisation
At Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, our mission is to accelerate philanthropy in pursuit of a just world. We advise established and aspiring philanthropists, foundations, and corporations; manage innovative, early-stage non-profits; and share insight and learning with our clients, our community, and the sector. Tracing our roots back to John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who in 1891 set out to manage his philanthropy with the same professionalism as his business ventures, we maintain our founding belief that philanthropy should not only be thoughtful and effective, but also fulfilling. Our diverse staff draws on its unmatched global expertise, experience, and vast international network to provide tailored services that meet your unique circumstances and needs. By continuing to build on lessons learned over more than a century, our goal is to help define the next generation of philanthropy and to foster a worldwide culture of giving.
