Our Board of Trustees

Elizabeth J. McCormack

The Asian Cultural Council was established in 1960 to carry forward the mission of the Asian Cultural Program of The JDR 3rd Fund, which was created by John D. Rockefeller 3rd, who believed that person-to-person contact was an essential ingredient of international understanding.  Since 1963 the ACC and The JDR 3rd Fund before it have provided grant assistance to approximately 6,000 Asian and American artists, scholars, and specialists in the arts.  It has supported cultural leaders in over twnety different fields and in more than twenty-five countries in Asia. The ACC currently makes approximately 100 grants annually.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth J. McCormack,
Chairman
