Extreme weather is making harvests more unpredictable, and small farms are using AI to adapt their farming practices.

That’s the power behind Digital Green’s AI-powered app, FarmerChat. More in our 2025 Impact Report: https://t.co/2Fn2LrRDLF

This is what it looks like when you refuse to give up on progress, and instead reimagine it. Our 2025 Impact Report tells the human stories behind the results we delivered around the world. Explore the report. https://t.co/EOD00xgNjr

What better way to celebrate our 113th birthday with our President @rajshah being honored in @TIME's TIME100 Philanthropy 2026 list! We look forward to making big bets that deliver real results for the next 113 years and more. https://t.co/m9kGQihadG

💬“Health is the most human face of climate change,” says @AniDasguptaWRI, WRI President & CEO.

New research from @WRIClimate, commissioned by @RockefellerFdn, finds that investing in tools and services helps governments and communities in developing countries anticipate climate-related health risks.

💰For every $1 invested, they can deliver $4 to $68 in benefits.

Topline job numbers don’t tell the full story. In a @FortuneMagazine op-ed, Derek Kilmer explains why 50 million Americans are still struggling, and how strategic policy shifts and targeted investments can expand opportunity. https://t.co/Y0ezDI7PVc

1.6 million jobs. 250 communities. 3 years. Today we're betting big on good jobs for America — connecting people who are at risk of falling out of work due to AI to good jobs. Learn more. https://t.co/TO3NQxi5LL

During #WBGMeetings, we hosted our Finance Forum focused on debt and the need for ambitious solutions. With 3.3B people in countries spending more on debt than health, bold action is urgent. As @rajshah wrote in @ForeignPolicy, we have the roadmap to show the way forward. https://t.co/NQ3ikZIs3t

New data coming out of the World Bank Spring Meetings: Borrowing costs for African countries rose 91% from 2020–2024. Aid is being cut. Debt is getting more expensive. And the Iran conflict is driving food & energy prices higher. Countries in the "squeezed middle" have almost no room left. Our new report: https://t.co/NyPRCxGgtT

Energy = Development

When we power a home, a business, or a hospital, we aren't just providing electricity—we’re fueling work, wages, and lasting dignity. Join @WorldBankGroup today at 8:45 AM EDT to learn how they're turning power into growth: https://t.co/pS1qFAbTBL #WBGMeetings

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

New OECD data confirms a 23% drop in global aid in 2025, the largest in decades. Research projects 9M+ preventable deaths by 2030 if cuts continue. We're calling for urgent action. https://t.co/pIl2DX3vat

[Makhtar Diop @Diop_IFC]

Connecting 300 million people in Africa to electricity by 2030 will require unlocking new sources of private capital.

Pleased to see @WorldBankGroup, @AfDB_Group, and @RockefellerFdn launch the #Mission300 Private Sector Council—bringing together global and African business leaders to turn ambition into investment.
Powering businesses. Energizing communities. Creating jobs. https://t.co/jw7FdHTyj2

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

Electricity creates opportunity.

Along with our partners at @WorldBankGroup and @AfDB_Group, we just launched the #Mission300 Private Sector Council to help accelerate our work to bring electricity to 300 million people across Africa by 2030.

[Dr. Rajiv J. Shah @rajshah]

#Mission300 will connect 300M Africans to electricity by 2030—but only if the private sector shows up as a driver, not a donor. @RockefellerFdn @WorldBank and @AfDB_Group just took a big step to make that happen by launching a new Mission 300 Private Sector Council. https://t.co/uHCLxaNcwF

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

The #IranWar poses major risks to countries already struggling with debt burdens and severe cuts to development assistance. @RockefellerFdn and Masood Ahmed, President Emeritus @CGDev, convened top thinkers on debt and international finance to discuss concrete solutions.

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

Hear from Mission 300 Fellow Sharon Matongo on how #Mission300 is powering communities across Africa, and opening doors for everyone.

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

What if you only had 2 hours of electricity a day, and didn’t know which 2 hours?

That’s the reality for hundreds of millions of people.

Universal energy abundance—reliable power for everyone, everywhere—could change that.

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

We made our biggest-ever bet on electricity as a pathway out of poverty.

At today’s Powering Africa Summit, we announced that we, alongside @EnergyAlliance, have committed $100M+ in #Mission300 to connect 300M people across Africa to reliable electricity by 2030.

Today, nearly 3 billion people still lack access to enough electricity to power economic opportunity.

In this episode of @inevitablemcj, hear @toeydayal break down how #Mission300, distributed solar, AI, and even nuclear power could change the future of energy.

Food is Medicine is a win-win-win—for patients, local farmers, and your state’s economy. Learn more: https://t.co/i7FVQMWh4z

A doctor writes a prescription.

A local farm supplies the food.

Food is Medicine programs turn healthcare spending into local economic opportunity.

That’s the cycle—and power—of #FoodisMedicine.
