The Rockefeller Foundation believes that when trying to promote the well-being of everyone we must be able to work with anyone. We are at our best when the talented people of RF work and thrive in a dynamic and welcoming environment that brings out the best in our team members, grantees and partners.
To that end, our Communities, Partners, and Impact team is working to help:
- Build a Rockefeller Foundation community that welcomes, celebrates, and engages staff across all regions.
- Ask “who is at the table” for our convenings, programs, initiatives — and engage with a broad set of partners to support our efforts.
- Advance impact and opportunity, especially for vulnerable communities.
RF Affinity Groups
We are proud of our RF Affinity Groups, which bolster a culture of belonging and improve engagement across our global and regional locations. Our affinity groups are inclusive communities for all team members and allies.
Everyone at the Foundation is guided by our values of Transparency, Optimism, Accountability, Collaboration, Trust and Equity. We bring those values to everything we do, from our grantmaking to our operations, from our talent management to our convenings.
