Kosovo American Education Fund (KAEF) is grateful to announce the receipt of a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) as a commitment to advancing the development of Kosovo through quality higher education.
Founded in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, a private family foundation rooted in the Rockefeller tradition of philanthropy, works to build lasting solutions to challenges facing today’s increasingly interdependent world through grantmaking, convening, and mission-aligned investing. RBF has been engaged in grantmaking in the Western Balkans since 2001, supporting efforts of civil society groups, governmental institutions, and other partners to work toward strengthening democratic practices and sustainable development in the region.
Through its contribution, RBF will support KAEF's mission to stimulate economic and democratic growth in Kosovo by investing in the higher education of motivated, talented Kosovars with leadership potential. The support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund signifies an essential step towards sustaining KAEF for the future, demonstrating the importance of collaborative efforts between the private sector and educational programs in driving positive societal change and development.
