	The Rockefeller Archive Center - Rockefeller Foundation Archives
		As a result of a reorganization of the Rockefeller philanthropies in 1929, the Foundation was merged with the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, integrating its social sciences program, and it inherited the natural science and humanities programs of the GEB and the International Education Board.
		During the 1930s, the Foundation emphasized "the advancement of knowledge" and its application to improve the human condition through support of research and training in such fields as agriculture and forestry, psychiatry, earth sciences, reproductive biology, international relations and community organization and planning.
		Between 1933 and 1955 the Rockefeller Foundation contributed $1.5 million toward the identification and assistance of 303 European scientists and scholars displaced by racial and political persecution by Nazi and Fascist regimes.

		In May, 1926, the Rockefeller Foundation donated a sum of $250,000 for the creation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Psychiatry where Ernst Rudin, the forerunner of Hitler's eugenics research, was a leading psychiatrist.
		In 1929, the Rockefeller Foundation submitted a grant worth $317,000 to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research, another eugenics related institution, led by Ernst Rudin, where thousands of people were mercilessly tortured and relegated to the status of 'lab rats' for the purpose of providing further research to justify Hitler's genocide.

		ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION [Rockefeller Foundation] philanthropic institution established (1913) by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., to promote "the well-being of mankind throughout the world." During its first 14 years the foundation received $183 million from Rockefeller.
		Rockefeller Institute (later Rockefeller Univ.), a center for medical and biological research, was established; it became important in the reform of medical education in the United States.
		The foundation also helped finance relief measures after World War I. The consolidation (1929) of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial (with its $58 million endowment) with the Rockefeller Foundation marked the organization's expansion into new areas of research including the natural and social sciences, humanities, and agriculture.

		Among the pioneers in this effort was plant pathologist Norman Borlaug, a Rockefeller Foundation scientist for 39 years, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his work developing improved crop varieties and farm management practices and promoting their widespread use around the world.
		Joseph DeVries of the Rockefeller Foundation explained where and how the AGRA donations from the Rockefeller and Gates foundations would be put to use in Uganda.

		Dedicated to fostering the “wellbeing of mankind throughout the world,” the foundation seeks to nip the root cause of human suffering in the bud.
		By law, the foundation has to spend at least 5 percent of its investment portfolio in grants, so it is quite dependent on strong financial markets.
		The foundation receives more than 12,000 proposals each year, 75 percent of which cannot be considered because their purposes fall outside the foundation program guidelines.

	Rockefeller Foundation grant
		Los Angeles, CA -- The Rockefeller Foundation has approved a $325,000 grant to California State University, Los Angeles to support a humanities fellowship program, “Becoming and Belonging: The Alchemy of Identity in the Multiethnic Metropolis.” This is the largest private grant ever received by the University’s College of Arts and Letters.
		The grant—establishing Cal State L.A. as a Rockefeller residency site—will enable researchers to study the concept of “belonging” in American society, especially in the diaspora of greater Los Angeles and the Pacific southwest.
		Rockefeller officials were particularly impressed with the non-traditional structure of the grant project that made it possible for Cal State L.A. to have an engaged community of scholars, said Professor Rodriguez.

	IIE \| Global Interdependence (Site not responding. Last check: )
		On October 7-8, 1996, at the Pocantico Conference Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Fund joined with the World Bank to host an unusual gathering of foundation executives, leaders of major humanitarian and environmental NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), and officers of large multilateral institutions.
		Implicitly and occasionally explicitly, the gathering posed the question of how a group of foundations, NGOs, and multilateral institutions might work collaboratively, drawing on their respective and complementary strengths, to help build a broader understanding of global interdependence and a stronger commitment to cooperative engagement.
		The discussions at Pocantico did, however, illuminate the need for more nuanced information about the beliefs and perceptions of Americans regarding their country's role in an interdependent world, and about the efforts that are already under way by NGOs and other organizations to educate various audiences about the challenges and opportunities presented by global interdependence.
