Appointment reunites representation from both founding organizations — The Rockefeller Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation — as TIFF marks its 35th anniversary.
Radnor, PA — March 17, 2026 – TIFF Investment Management, an independent, employee-owned investment firm specializing in OCIO services and alternative investment strategies, is pleased to announce that Chun Lai, Chief Investment Officer of The Rockefeller Foundation, has joined the firm’s TAS Advisory Board.
Mr. Lai first joined The Rockefeller Foundation in 1996 and is currently responsible for overseeing the management of the foundation’s $7 billion endowment. His deep expertise in endowment management, asset allocation, and mission-driven investing will provide invaluable perspective to TIFF’s work on behalf of nonprofits and other long-term investors.
Mr. Lai joins a group of leading institutional investment minds on the TAS Advisory Board who together provide indispensable insight and guidance to TIFF— a key cornerstone of the firm’s differentiated investment advantage.
TIFF was originally founded in 1991 by the MacArthur and Rockefeller foundations with the goal of creating an organization where nonprofits could gain access to sophisticated investment strategies typically reserved for the largest institutions. With Mr. Lai’s appointment, TIFF is proud to have representation from both the MacArthur and Rockefeller foundations — its two founding organizations — on the TAS Advisory Board during its 35th anniversary year.
“We are honored to welcome Chun to TIFF’s TAS Advisory Board,” said Kane Brenan, CEO of TIFF Investment Management. “Chun is one of the most respected leaders in endowment investing, and his perspective will be incredibly valuable to our investment team and the clients we serve. His appointment is especially meaningful given the role the Rockefeller Foundation played in establishing TIFF 35 years ago.”
