Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are core to who we are at The Rockefeller Foundation (RF). We are at our best when the talented people of RF work and thrive in a dynamic environment, where inclusion is encouraged, differences are respected, and equity is paramount, for both our team members, grantees and partners. Our strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion starts with our definitions:

Diversity is the representation of all our varied individual and community identities, differences, and lived experiences. We believe diversity is essential to fulfilling our mission to promote the well-being of humanity and developing innovative people-centered climate solutions.

Equity is the commitment to access, opportunity, advancement, and fair treatment for all people – regardless of their differences and identities. We strive to leverage all the tools at our disposal for the benefit and empowerment of the communities we serve, especially those that have been historically marginalized.

Inclusion is the intentional and active engagement of diverse voices, perspectives, and expertise within and beyond our organization. We believe that true inclusion of our global team, grantees and partners will deepen our culture of belonging and maximize our collective impact on the people we serve.

We have also launched RF Affinity Groups to develop a culture of belonging and improve engagement across our global and regional locations. Our Affinity groups are inclusive communities for team members and allies that identify as Asian, Black, Hispanic/Latino, LGBTQIA, White Men, and Women.
