Rockefeller Family Fund's Founding Member
The trustees and staff of the Rockefeller Family Fund mourn the death of David Rockefeller, who, with his siblings, founded the RFF fifty years ago. In his grace and kindness, his avidity for life and his passionate determination to make the lives of others better, in the global scope of his imagination and concern, he was an inspiration to us all. Philanthropy was a true vocation for him, which he expressed not only through large and bold gifts but through countless small, local ones, and through the thoughtfulness and decency he brought to every encounter. We hope to emulate his qualities in our own work, and we're both humbled by and deeply grateful for the support he always showed us.
