Rockefeller Foundation Launches Big Bets for America Program

The Foundation, which has invested in American health, education, economic opportunity, and other initiatives since its founding in 1913, is deepening its engagement in the United States with innovative approaches, such as BlueConduit’s work providing communities access to safe drinking water; a convening in Appalachia to help end the overdose epidemic; Jobs to Move America’s campaign in nine states to positively impact worker well-being through community benefits agreements in the clean-tech manufacturing sector; as well as a new fellowship for aspiring U.S.-based changemakers.
