Relationships and Innovations

By questioning assumptions about how money works and collaborating with our partners and clients, we’re creating new models of working together, new products, and fresh ways of engaging with finance.

We believe that inquiry and dialogue are essential to transforming people’s relationship with money and moving the economy toward greater equity. We enable the investors, donors and entrepreneurs in our community to explore the role of money in their lives and engage with it in more meaningful ways.

Our deeply entrepreneurial culture and unique approach to our work enable us to generate breakthrough ideas at the intersection of social change and finance. Since 1984, we have focused on developing innovative social finance tools that serve the unmet needs of our clients and partners.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

RSF envisions an economy rooted in equity, healing, and interconnectedness. Our mission is to catalyze transformation by circulating capital to social enterprises for a more just, regenerative, and compassionate world.

We stand against racism, sexism, and any other form of discrimination within our organization and work with clients. We are committed to being an inclusive and antiracist organization across all levels of our work environment, strategy, and funding of social enterprises. We bring a sincere desire to listen, learn, and continuously hold ourselves accountable.

RSF recognizes that racism and patriarchy have shaped the American financial system. We see justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as fundamental to a regenerative financial system, and are examining our role in perpetuating and combating social, economic, and institutional inequities.
