Rockefeller commits $10M to IRC to fast-track solutions for conflict, climate, and poverty crises

The Rockefeller Foundation has announced a $10 million grant to the International Rescue Committee in New York, New York, to scale innovation for people in conflict and crisis zones. The multiyear commitment funds the Airbel Impact Lab, accelerating solutions in health, climate resilience, and economic recovery across fragile regions. The initiative targets millions of displaced and vulnerable people, emphasizing locally driven interventions and rapid testing of scalable programs. The funding will support data-driven pilots, partnerships, and deployment in high-need countries, aiming to improve service delivery efficiency and expand access to critical resources over the next several years.
