Achieving Health for All
From funding the development of penicillin and the Nobel-Prize winning yellow fever vaccine to co-founding the Children's Vaccine Initiative and advocating for equitable Covid-19 testing and vaccine policies, The Rockefeller Foundation has shaped principles, practices, and key institutions in the global public health field.
N o u r i s h i n g t h e W o r l d
Nourishing the World
To fight food insecurity, The Rockefeller Foundation helped boost crop yields in Asia, Africa, and beyond through modernizing agriculture practices. More recently, it has championed regenerative agriculture and worked to increase global and institutional access to nutritious, sustainably grown foods.

Ending Energy Poverty
Committed to clean and equitable energy access, The Rockefeller Foundation supported development of early solar mini-grid prototypes in India, helped create the U.S. Energy Foundation, and spearheaded the launch of the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, whose mission is to reach one billion people with reliable, abundant, clean power.
