Rockefeller Brothers Fund
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), (''Philanthropy for an Interdependent World''), is an international philanthropic organisation created and run by members of the Rockefeller family. It was set up in New York City in 1940 as the primary philanthropic vehicle of the five famous Rockefeller brothers: John D. Rockefeller III, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop and David, and is distinct from the Rockefeller Foundation, which is more independent from family control. Its headquarters are located at 475 Riverside Drive, New York, which is also the location of the family's fourth-generation philanthropic ''Rockefeller Family Fund''.
The current president of the Fund is Stephen B. Heintz. Until June 13, 2014, its chairman was Richard Rockefeller, the fifth child of David Rockefeller. Richard Rockefeller died in a single engine plane crash attempting to fly home to Maine after attending his father's 99th birthday on the Rockefeller family estate in Pocantico Hills, New York.〔(Son of David Rockefeller Dies in Small-Plane Crash ) ''The New York Times'' 2014/06/14.〕〔(Rockefeller heir killed in small plane crash near New York City | Reuters )〕〔(Richard Rockefeller, great-grandson of John D.

==Founding==
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. made a substantial gift to the Fund in 1951,〔http://www.rbf.org/history/about-us〕 and in 1960 the Fund received a major bequest from his estate. Together, these constitute the original endowment of the Fund. Initially, the five brothers contributed funds via their income from the various family trusts. Beginning in 1952, the brothers began to include on the board of the Fund trustees who were not members of the Rockefeller family. In 1954 they included their sister Abby Rockefeller Mauzé, who had not been involved in its founding. In 1958, the first of a number of daughters and sons of the founders joined, and the first of their children became trustees in 1992. Since the establishment of the Fund, three generations of family members have served as trustees.
