Thesis

Rockefeller Foundation Impact Investment Management, LLC (RFII) is an investment firm operating under The Rockefeller Foundation, focused on deploying catalytic capital to achieve both financial returns and positive social/environmental impact. Their strategy centers on mobilizing private capital to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leveraging the broader foundation's historical support in areas like global health, food security, energy access, and economic opportunity. RFII aims to de-risk deals, support first-time fund managers, and target challenging geographies and customer segments. They act as an anchor investor, co-creating funds with private equity investors and demonstrating the value of high-risk or low-return investments to attract additional capital. The firm was established with a $60 million impact fund, comprised of $30 million from The Rockefeller Foundation and a matched $30 million from the MacArthur Foundation. While specific check sizes are not public, their approach is to scale innovations that can mobilize significant capital.
