Rockefeller family fund programs the fund works in three main program areas: environment, democracy, and economic justice for women. In each of these areas, the fund develops and manages initiatives in conjunction with funder partners, individuals, and existing non-profit organizations, to advance critical policy objectives or build necessary capacity. Environment: the fund focuses its environment program almost exclusively on climate change. Our program emphasizes public education on the risks of global warming and implementation of sound solutions to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy. The fund develops initiatives to assure that fossil fuel companies do the least amount of harm to community health and comply with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations during the extraction, transport, and export of fossil fuels; make responsible climate polluters pay for the damage they have caused; enact policies at the state and national levels to reduce carbon emissions; bring new voices into the climate debate; and examine how special interests are distorting science and delaying constructive steps to deal with the unfolding climate crisis.democracy: the fund's democracy program uses research and program innovation to support state-based multiracial civic organizations in their nonpartisan work to strengthen their organizing strategies and practices, with the goal of helping those organizations build and advance positive change within their communities.economic justice for women: the fund works to promote economic equity for women by making a family-friendly economic agenda a priority for state and federal officials. The fund does this by supporting a diverse coalition of women to win policy victories, build women's power, and reframe our national narrative around the link between economic and social progress and equity for women.emerging opportunities: the fund encourages and supports innovative educational programs and advocacy in issue areas outside of the fund's current areas of focus, but still within the fund's established program areas, by allocating funds to seize emerging opportunities.
