Seed Fund

The RSF Seed Fund provides small gifts (between $1,000 and $5,000) to seed new initiatives that fall within RSF’s mission statement; successful grantees offer innovative solutions to furthering the field of social finance, or address issues in one of our three focus areas (Food & Agriculture, Education & the Arts, and Ecological Stewardship). Grantees should demonstrate capacity for growth, and plans to reach financial independence.

As this fund accepts unsolicited grant proposals, interest far exceeds the number of grants we are able to make; your gifts to the RSF Seed Fund will help germinate the next generation of restorative projects. To learn more about donating to this program, please call Kelley Buhles at 415.561.6152.

If you would like to submit a grant proposal to the RSF Seed Fund, please review the Eligibility & Application Process.
