Connecting the Agenda published a video in 2016 describing the significant connections between the Rockefellers and the United Nations.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. provided $2 million to the League of Nations in 1927, which later became part of the United Nations Office in Geneva.
Additionally, the Rockefellers purchased the land for the United Nations Headquarters in New York, with John D. Rockefeller Jr. donating $8,515,000 in 1946, and Nelson Rockefeller negotiating the deal with the landowner, William Zeckendorf.

David Rockefeller, Nelson’s brother, benefited financially from the deal, as he owned land in the area that increased in value after the UN Headquarters was built, and he also invested in a building project across from the UN building through the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The Rockefeller family has continued to support the United Nations, with the Rockefeller Foundation providing grants and the Rockefellers Brothers Fund funding the United Nations Foundation.
According to David Rockefeller’s autobiography, the family’s ultimate goal is to build a “more integrated global political and economic structure – one world,” which aligns with the United Nations’ Agenda 21 programme.

In this analysis, the direct connection between the Rockefellers and the creation of the United Nations organisation will be made.
First, it should be noted that the organisation that preceded the United Nations, the League of Nations, received a significant amount of support from Rockefeller-related organisations. In 1927, John D. Rockefeller Jr. provided the League of Nations with $2 million to “enhance its international relations library and promote peace through knowledge and understanding”. This Library of the League of Nations later became known as the United Nations Office at Geneva (“UNOG”) when the league transferred its assets to the United Nations. According to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in a statement praising the Rockefeller family’s past and present support of international organisations, the interest from that original $2 million loan still provides approximately $150,000 every biennium to the United Nations.
The Rockefeller Foundation was also heavily involved with transition from the League of Nations to the United Nations as documented in the article ‘The Rockefeller Foundation and the Transition from the League of Nations to the UN’ by Ludovic Tournes of the University of Geneva. Further connections could be drawn between the Rockefellers and the League of Nations but for the sake of brevity, we will move on to the United Nations.
It is no secret that the land that the United Nations is built upon today was purchased with money donated by the Rockefellers. The official Rockefeller Archive Centre has this to say on the matter:
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s deep interest in international relations was reflected by his many contributions directed to international causes. Perhaps most outstanding in this field was his gift of $8,515,000 in December 1946, for the purchase of the land for the permanent home of the United Nations in New York.
This land where the United Nations Headquarters now sits in New York was originally owned by a prominent real estate developer named William “Bill” Zeckendorf. As the story goes, Nelson Rockefeller, on behalf of the United Nations, went to Zeckendorf with an offer to buy the property, Zeckendorf agreed, and Nelson’s father, John D Rockefeller, Jr., donated the money to the United Nations in order to finance the purchase of the land. While this story is usually presented as just another selfless act of charity by the Rockefellers, there is some evidence to suggest that there were ulterior benefits associated with this donation.
