The Cultural Institutions Retirement System (“CIRS”) was founded in 1962 by five (5) cultural institutions – The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, The New York Botanical Garden, The Museum of The City of New York, The Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences and The Staten Island Zoological Society – to provide common pension and group life insurance benefits for eligible employees. Private tax-exempt child care centers joined CIRS beginning in 1964 through the efforts of the Day Care Council of New York, Inc. CIRS exists today as the result of a unique partnership between the City of New York, the cultural institutions, the Day Care Council of New York and three Unions. The Plan is governed by a Board of nine Trustees, two of which are appointed by the Mayor of New York, two by the Unions, and five by the Cultural Institutions. CIRS provides retirement benefits to over 21,000 members including more than 8,000 active child care and cultural institution workers.

Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) is a philanthropic foundation with a mission to advance social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. Through our grantmaking, mission-aligned investing, and convenings at The Pocantico Center, the RBF supports the people and organizations building lasting solutions to the challenges facing today’s increasingly interdependent world. Our grantmaking is organized into seven programs. Three thematic programs—Democratic Practice, Sustainable Development, and Peacebuilding—address the interrelated challenges of democratic decline, climate change, and violent conflict. The Culpeper Arts & Culture program, created through the 2008 merger with the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation, supports arts organizations and artists in the New York City region that shape understanding of these critical concerns and the human experience. Pivotal Place programs in China, Central America, and the Western Balkans focus on one or more RBF themes in a specific geographic context that we believe has disproportionate significance for the future of the surrounding regions, an ecosystem, or the world. Recognizing that the problems the RBF aims to address are profound and our resources are modest, our grantmaking programs share common approaches to achieve enduring impact: Nurture bold ideas from the ground up; Support solutions grounded in evidence and lived experience; Advance equity and inclusion; and Respond to changing contexts. The Pocantico Center is the community facing extension of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s philanthropic mission. Through a robust slate of programming— including conferences for nonprofit and policy leaders, artist residencies, tours, performances, and educational programs for the community—Pocantico continues to bring together people from near and far to learn, share, and imagine a better future.
