JDR 3rd Fund

The JDR 3rd Fund was incorporated in 1963 "to stimulate, encourage, promote, and support activities important to human welfare." It was a means by which its founder, John D. Rockefeller, 3rd (president of the Fund from 1963 until his death in 1978), could address his varied interests in fields not served by such organizations such as the Population Coucil and the Asia Society.

Upon the death of John D. Rockefeller 3rd in 1978, leadership of the Fund passed to his wife, Mrs. Blanchette Rockefeller. Under her direction, the Fund fulfilled its obligations for the fiscal year and was dissolved in July 1979. Its Asian Cultural Program was continued by a new organization, the Asian Cultural Council.
