    Summary

    The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation (WRF) affirms its founder's vision who envisioned a thriving and prosperous Arkansas that benefits all Arkansans. They pursue this mission through strategic grantmaking and partnerships, and using their voice, to help close the economic and educational gaps that leave too many Arkansas families in persistent poverty.


    The Foundation invests in the following priority areas:

    • Economic Equity: When all Arkansans can achieve widely shared prosperity because everyone earns a living wage, participates in a thriving economy, and is able to build generational wealth.
    • Education Equity: When all Arkansans can attain the skills and education needed to support their families and communities, especially those striving to move out of poverty. 
    • Social, Ethnic and Racial Equity: When all Arkansans can live in an equitable and productive state free from historic and systemic barriers, and legacies of unfairness have been addressed and eliminated.
