Real Leaders Names RSF Social Finance a 2024 Top Impact Company

The company was one of 185 awardees, earning recognition in the impact investing and financial services categories

SAN FRANCISCO (January 17, 2024) — RSF Social Finance earned recognition in the impact investing and financial services categories on the Real Leaders® 2024 Top Impact Companies list. This year’s awards, announced today, honor 185 brands that are scaling solutions for the world’s most pressing issues.

RSF was ranked 66 on year’s list, on the strength of its work to catalyze transformation by circulating capital to social enterprises that are creating a more just, regenerative, and compassionate world.

“RSF has decades of experience in lending to for-profit and nonprofit enterprises with significant positive social, cultural and environmental impacts—and RSF’s Social Investment Fund notes remain one of the few ways people can invest directly in social enterprises,” said RSF CEO Jasper van Brakel. “We appreciate the recognition for our efforts to flow money into both locally-driven and systemic solutions, and we’re honored to be in this impressive company.”

In its sixth year, Real Leaders, a media platform, CEO network and Certified B Corp, updated its awards to also recognize stand-out companies in I.M.P.A.C.T (Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration and Transformation) categories. In addition, it debuted five new awards: Most Valuable Mission, Most Innovative Model, Most Impactful People, Best Collaboration, and Most Transparent.

The 2024 list features a mix of respected privately owned impact brands of all sizes and from a variety of industries.

A “Real Leaders UNITE” awards celebration will be held in San Diego on February 6, 2024, to honor the winners.
