We at The Rockefeller Foundation know that we don't have all the answers.

We seek to promote the well-being of humanity by addressing the root causes of serious problems. We work to expand opportunities for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that globalization's benefits are more widely shared. We are one of the few institutions to conduct such work both within the United States and internationally.

We welcome your ideas about how to do this most effectively. We seek high-impact ideas that have the potential to make a difference in the lives of large numbers of poor or vulnerable people and we require some results from such ideas to be measurable within three to five years.

We search for ideas in many different ways: in reaching out to experts, innovators, non-governmental organizations and associations, interested individuals and public officials; in supporting competitions; and in new ways we're just beginning to test. This section of our web site is another way we can reach out to you.
If you have an idea for consideration -- regardless of whether you (or your organization) expect to be involved in its implementation -- we encourage your contribution, and ask that you complete a form.

While we will review each form, please note that because of the large volume of ideas we receive, we are not able to respond to all submissions. We will respond within 4-6 weeks if we need additional information to explore the idea further with you.
