Philanthropy for an Interdependent World
The Pocantico Center
In 1991, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund leased from the National Trust for Historic Preservation the portion of the Rockefeller estate bequeathed to the Trust by Nelson Rockefeller. Subsequently, through the generosity of members of the Rockefeller family, the Fund created The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in the estate's Coach Barn as an extension of its grantmaking activities.
As part of its agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the RBF assumed Stewardship of the property and the responsibility of providing Public Access to the property. The Fund oversees the maintenance, care, conservation, and restoration of the historic buildings; gardens, including the Japanese Garden; and collections of decorative and fine art at Kykuit; the Coach Barn; and since January 2007, the Marcel Breuer House.
