Human Resources and Diversity

Human Resources

The Fund’s 2011 staff total was 63, which included 47 full-time and 16 part-time employees. Of these part-time employees, one worked in Finance and Operations; and two part-time and 13 hourly employees provided operations and maintenance support to The Pocantico Center. The combined hours of these Pocantico staff members (part-time and hourly) are equal to approximately four full-time positions. The Fund filled three vacancies in 2011. The average tenure of RBF employees in 2011 was 9.1 years, and the average age was 49.

In 2011, certain services of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Human Resources, Operations, Accounting, and Technology departments were provided to the Rockefeller Family Fund and the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation. In addition, Human Resources and/or Accounting provided support to the American Conservation Association, Asian Cultural Council, the David Rockefeller Fund, Environmental Grantmakers Association, Rockefeller Archive Center, and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. These organizations reimbursed the RBF for their share of these services.

Men comprised 65 percent of the board of trustees. Approximately half the trustees are members of the Rockefeller family, including five from the fifth generation.
