John D Rockefeller: 1913 to 1920
The Rockefeller Foundation: 1913 to 1920
The Rockefeller Foundation was founded on May 14, 1913 and was named after its founder, the oil tycoon, John D Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller was already very involved in philanthropy but in 1913, he officially founded the Rockefeller Foundation.
After its founding, the foundation began to focus its energy on the health and medical field. It started the International Health Committee, The China Medical Board, and provided funding for the National Committee for Mental Hygiene.
One of its founding tenets was that healthcare should fundamentally be central to the government whereas the Rockefeller Foundation was only there to supplement governments in various parts of the world. In 1920, the Rockefeller Foundation entered the public education sphere and created a program in partnership with Johns Hopkins University.
This was the first seven years of the Rockefeller Foundation. What are your thoughts on the Rockefeller Foundation? Let us know in the comments.
