American philanthropist
Margaret Dulany "Peggy" Rockefeller (born 1947) is an American heiress and philanthropist.

Dulany has worked with the National Endowment for the Arts on nonprofit management and planning. For five years she served as Senior Vice President of the New York City Partnership, founded by her father in 1979, where she headed the Youth Employment and Education programs.
Like her father, she has had a long involvement with the United Nations.

Why this record matters
“Peggy Dulany” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Peggy, Dulany and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7160651. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1947, 1969 and 1979.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
