Resources for Borrowers
  • Overview

    The RSF team has been reaching out to our social enterprise borrowers to find out how the crisis is affecting them and what they need. We continue to assess our community’s needs and capacity, and we are creating new opportunities for collective action. Our March 18 online Community Pricing Gathering focused on supporting borrowers, and in the coming days we’ll announce significant steps the RSF community will take to do that.

  • Searchable resource list

    RSF and more than a dozen partners have built The Resilience Compass, a tool formed in response to the COVID-19 crisis as a collaborative public service. This group of partners, led by Conveners.org, aims to help small businesses, cooperatives, and nonprofits calmly navigate uncharted waters while accelerating their road to recovery. The Resilience Compass aims to bring helpful resources and guidance from a spectrum of public, private, and local sources that can be filtered to your organization’s most pressing needs.

  • Small Business Administration (SBA) resources

    RSF Social Finance is watching the SBA Paycheck Protect Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs closely. RSF is not a SBA Lender but encourages businesses and nonprofits to review eligibility to determine if these programs can support your organization.

    We are excited to see relief funds being made available but know that the demand will be high and funds will be limited-if you plan to apply, we recommend doing so now. Due to the limited funds and potentially long time frame for approval, we recommend that organizations continue to explore other relief funding and resources.

    Please carefully review the following resources to learn more:
