The Organization

Founded in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) advances social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. The RBF’s grantmaking is organized around three themes: Democratic Practice, Peacebuilding, and Sustainable Development.

The Organization

NPR is an independent, nonprofit media organization that was founded on a mission to create a more informed public. Every day, NPR connects with millions of Americans on the air, online, and in person to explore the news, ideas, and what it means to be human. Through its network of member stations, NPR makes local stories national, national stories local, and global stories personal.

NPR’s rigorous reporting and unsurpassed storytelling connects with millions of Americans every day — on the air, online, and in person. NPR strives to create a more informed public — one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas, and cultures.

With a nationwide network of award-winning journalists, 17 international bureaus, and hundreds of NPR Member Stations, NPR is never far from where a story is unfolding. Relying on hundreds of skilled journalists in the United States and abroad — from Washington, D.C. and New York City to Beijing and Dakar — NPR stays on top of breaking news, follows the most critical stories of the day, and tracks complex issues over the long term. In a time of media fragmentation and sound bites, listeners come to NPR for fact-based, independent journalism and civil conversation that examines and respects diverse perspectives.

Of the major U.S. news brands, research shows that NPR ranks #1 in being “credible” and “honest,” rising above the major television and cable news networks and media outlets, including The New York Times, MSNBC, and Fox News, in both categories.

Visionary NPR executive leaders, including President & CEO John Lansing (appointed 2019) and Chief Development Officer Leora Hanser (appointed 2020), in partnership with Board leaders, have been working strategically to strengthen the culture of philanthropy across NPR, its Member stations, and their diverse constituencies. The advancement of processes and relationships to ensure that fundraising strategies are mutually beneficial to NPR and its Member stations have been central to these efforts: promoting development best practices and excellence through enhanced donor engagement, application of data and metrics, and optimized use of technology; elevating the shared responsibility of philanthropy across the entire NPR organization; and advancing an ethos of collaboration among NPR and its Member stations that is built on trust and transparency. These initiatives, both incremental and transformative, are providing sustainable, long-term philanthropic pathways to accomplish both national and local goals and lift the entire NPR system to new levels of giving.

Key structural changes within the NPR Development Division include the creation of teams focused on centralized support for Member station philanthropy and collaborative fundraising, as well as ongoing innovation and ideation across fundraising programs. Notably, the Development Division has gained permission to begin soliciting donors to support the entire NPR Network, in addition to Member Stations, removing a major barrier to donor acquisition that will substantially increase revenue across the system. A respective team is being built that will focus on growing acquisition from various digital platforms. Additionally, a mid-level giving program is being established for NPR and Member stations with the goal of cultivating annual fund donors for future major giving.
