About Us
We work with changemakers who use money as a tool for good. Together, we put resources to work toward regeneration.
Who We Are
RSF is an impact-first financial services organization revolutionizing the meaning of money. Since 1984, we’ve innovated finance tools and invested in healthier food systems, whole-child education, cleaner climates, stronger communities, and more.
We nurture a living system of investors, donors, and social enterprise leaders who use capital differently than the crowd. By offering investment notes, donor-advised funds, and loans to mission-driven organizations, we mobilize money toward positive change that can be felt today, tomorrow, and on the horizon.
RSF envisions a world where all people have the power to use their money to regenerate people, communities, and the planet. We hope you’ll join us in making that vision a reality.

RSF’s 2023 Annual Report
In 2023, our community of investors, donors, and social enterprise leaders put money to work for regeneration.
RSF helped us navigate what might otherwise have been insurmountable obstacles and bridge to the next opportunities. Not a whole lot of people in the financial world are willing to risk something big for something good.

Inspired by our mission and guided by our values, our talented team works in partnership with the RSF community to activate money for social good.
Diversity, Equity, Opportunity, and Inclusion at RSF
At RSF, we envision a world where everyone has the power to leverage their financial resources to regenerate communities, people, and the planet. To realize our vision of a regenerative economy, we need to intentionally build an inclusive economy.
We believe that diversity, equity, opportunity and inclusion are not just ideals; they are essential pillars of a truly regenerative financial system. We stand firmly against racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination.
Our approach includes:
- Intentional Financing: Actively supporting social enterprises whose work regenerates diverse communities, people, and the planet.
- Participatory Models: Supporting cooperatives, perpetual purpose trusts, community-led funds, and other innovative frameworks that engage and empower stakeholder voices.
- Data Transparency: Collecting the race and gender identity of our borrowers, as well as our own staff, leadership, and Board, to support transparency.
- Equal Opportunity Commitment: Clearly articulating our status as an equal opportunity employer in our hiring practices to attract a diverse talent pool.
To see the tangible impact of our lending practices, read the stories of organizations we support that are using finance as a catalyst for a more just, equitable, and inclusive world.
Who we finance matters. What we finance matters. How we finance matters.
By incorporating the principles of an inclusive economy for all into everything we do, we can take meaningful steps towards a world in which everyone – and we mean everyone – can transform the financial landscape into one that reflects our shared values and aspirations for all.
