Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation

Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation

The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation was created in 1973 with an $85 million bequest following the death on August 13, 1973, of Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge. Dodge was the youngest child of Standard Oil tycoon William Rockefeller and Almira Geraldine Goodsell.

The mission of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation is to support and encourage those educational, cultural, social and environmental values that contribute to making our society more humane and our world more livable.

Every other year, in even numbered years, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation presents the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival, the largest poetry event in North America.
