Community Impact

 

We can build a world where all communities have the resources they need to thrive.

The communities in which people live, work, and play impact their physical, social, and economic well-being. But due to centuries of persistent discrimination by government policy and economic institutions, low- and moderate-income communities lack equal access to health and social services, employment and workforce development opportunities, arts institutions, affordable housing, and community spaces.

By supporting the institutions that promote thriving communities, we can create a more equitable society.

RSF finances social enterprises that increase access to health and social services, employment and workforce development opportunities, affordable real estate for homes and businesses, community-centered arts institutions, and more. By investing in these vital institutions, RSF supports long-term health, wealth, and well-being.
