    1997 ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT THE FOUNDATION – THE FOUNDATION The Rockefeller Foundation is a philanthropic organization endowed by John D. Rockefeller and chartered in 1913 for the well-being of people throughout the world. It is one of America's oldest private foundations and one of the few with strong international interests. From its beginning, the Foundation has sought to identify, and address at their source, the causes of human suffering and need. Foundation programs are organized around eight core strategies. Together, these strategies constitute the Foundation's commitment to help define and pursue a path toward environmentally sustainable development consistent with individual rights and a more equitable sharing of the world's resources. The Foundation's work is divided among the following program areas: the arts and humanities, equal opportunity, agricultural sciences, health sciences, population sciences, global environment, and special African initiatives including female education. While concentrating its efforts in these areas, the Foundation adjusts its course to reflect needs as they arise. The balance of the Foundation's grant and fellowship programs supports work in building democracy, international security, international philanthropy, and other special interests and initiatives. The Foundation maintains the Bellagio Study and Conference Center in northern Italy for conferences of international scope and for residencies for artists, scholars and policymakers, and other professionals from around the world. The Foundation is administered by its president through a staff drawn from scholarly, scientific and professional disciplines. An independent board of trustees, which meets four times a year, sets program guidelines and financial policy, and approves all appropriations. Chart depicts by program area the grants and fellowships totaling$103,960,068 appropriated from the 1997 budget.
