Rockefeller Family Fund is a U.S.-based, family-led public charity that initiates, cultivates, and funds strategic efforts to promote a sustainable, just, free, and participatory society.
The grant program from the Rockefeller Family Fund is focused on supporting initiatives that aim at meaningful climate progress, opposing the resistance of the fossil fuel industry, and promoting policies that require polluters to compensate for the climate damages they have caused. It supports various forms of engagement including citizen mobilization, deepening public understanding of climate disruption, exposing forces against climate progress, and advancing climate policies. Among its specific causes are climate education, which includes efforts to engage citizens, and the Funder Collaborative on Oil and Gas with goals to limit ongoing oil and gas production, prevent new fossil fuel infrastructure, and diminish the industry’s financial and political influence.
Preference is frequently shown towards organizations that collaborate on RFF projects.
