Commits to investing its $6 billion endowment in a way that matches its values
NEW YORK | April 6, 2021 – The Rockefeller Foundation announced a new Ethical Investment Policy that publicly sets out the manner in which the 108-year old institution manages its endowment. Designed to be an enduring framework that will evolve over time, the policy articulates the importance of maintaining a healthy and high-performing endowment, while simultaneously investing in a manner consistent with the goals and aspirations of the Foundation.
The Foundation got its start in 1913 when Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller provided an original endowment of $100 million. Since that time, the Foundation has provided over $22 billion in program initiatives in today’s dollars while still maintaining an endowment value that has kept up with inflation. Today, the Foundation’s endowment sits at over $6.0 billion.
