Activity

  • The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) aims to advance “social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.”
  • The Fund’s Peacebuilding program, which approves grants related to the Arab-Israel conflict, aims to “advance just and durable peace by supporting innovative and collaborative approaches and policies for conflict prevention, management, and transformation; strengthening constituencies and political will for conflict transformation and durable peace; and exploring solutions to emerging transnational threats and drivers of conflict.”
  • Daniel Levy, a trustee of the Fund, is the president of the US Middle East Project (USMEP), a co-founder of J Street, council member of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), and a former member of the board of directors of Molad-The Center for the Renewal of Democracy, all recipients of RBF funding. In addition, Levy is a member of the board of directors of the New Israel Fund (NIF), which is affiliated with many of the Israeli NGO recipients.
