Here's an excellent rundown on The Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Gives the history, grant-making categories, lists A LOT of the organizations that have received money from RBF.

An excerpt……
RBF's grant-making is divided into four major categories:
(a) Peace and Security Program: Seeking to foster "greater understanding between Muslim and Western Societies," this program states: "The tensions that currently characterize this relationship [between Islam and the West] seem to be rooted, at least in part, in profound misunderstanding and lack of communication." RBF places responsibility for this disharmony largely on the United States: "At the start of the 21st century and in the wake of September 11, 2001, there exists a pressing need to examine the content, style, and tone of U.S. global engagement and to ensure that they reflect an understanding of the reality and implications of increasing global interdependence. … U.S. missteps or inaction can hinder, halt, or reverse international progress on numerous threats to security and well-being.” According to RBF, America must increase its “efforts to ensure that [its] policies and behaviors reflect an understanding of the complexity and diversity of Muslim societies and contribute to mutually respectful, productive relations with those societies.”
No mention is made of Muslim nations' responsibility to reciprocate in kind; nor is there any reference to the radical Islamic movements that have declared open war against the West.
(b) Human Advancement Program (HAP): Reasoning from the premise that America is a nation in need of dramatic reform, this program is committed to fostering “systemic social change” that will "enhance the lives and promote the well-being of individuals and … conserve ecosystems.” Through its Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color, HAP "assists outstanding students of color … to pursue graduate studies and begin teaching in public schools." HAP also seeks to eradicate infectious diseases from its target areas, most notably the AIDS/HIV pandemic in South Africa.
(c) Sustainable Development Program: Alleging that human industrial activity causes global warming, the depletion of essential resources, the loss of biodiversity, and the "degradation of Earth's life support systems," this program supports "environmental stewardship that is ecologically based, economically sound, socially just, culturally appropriate, and consistent with intergenerational equity." Its funding is directed toward a host of environmentalist organizations that view capitalism as inherently harmful to the natural world, and that seek to curtail or cripple such industries as logging, mining, fishing, and farming.
(d) Democratic Practice Program: According to this program, the United States is plagued by "a decline in many forms of traditional civic engagement, including youth civic engagement; reduced participation in the formal institutions of democracy, including but not limited to voting; and declining trust in all institutions, especially institutions of government." Moreover, says the program, "American society is becoming increasingly polarized. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening and residential patterns reinforce separation along economic lines. … [T]he negative impacts of these democratic deficits and social divisions are particularly acute among young people, especially low-income youth and youth of color."
