Rockefeller Philanthropy: A Selected Guide
Sleepy Hollow: Rockefeller Archive Center, 2011. Softcover. 8vo., 79 pp. French folds. Illustrated. This compendium testifies to the extraordinary multigenerational Rockefeller philanthropic undertaking and describes of seventy-five institutions that were brought to life or significantly sustained by John D. Rockefeller [1839-1937] and his descendants. These organizations have touched virtually every aspect of American life: religion, science, medicine, education, government, social services, economic development, international relations, environmental conservation, historic preservation, and the arts. Also included here are the principal foundations and grant-making entities that have managed the philanthropy of four generations of Rockefellers. This summary of one family's philanthropic legacy is intended not only as a research tool and guide to the Rockefeller Archive Center's collections, but as a source of inspiration for the philanthropists of today and tomorrow. Uncommon title as it was published as a non-commercial archival compendium by the Rockefeller Archive Center rather than a commercial book for direct purchase. WorldCat lists no institutional holdings. Near Fine in French Fold wraps with a three inch very light cover crease. Item #901202614
