The Rockefeller Brothers fund divested from fossil fuels in 2014. The Rockefeller family fund began a process of divestment from fossil fuels in 2016 [1] starting with an immediate divestment from ExxonMobil for "their morally reprehensible conduct."[1]

This may be true of the family's fund, but the Rockefeller Foundation, which this article is sponsored by, is opposed.

"However, the much wealthier Rockefeller Foundation, whose endowment tops $4bn, is understood to be opposed to divestment for now."
