Give to RSF

Money can heal. All donations to RSF support our Catalyst Fund, unlocking high-impact loans that regenerate people, communities, and the planet.

Give a Gift that Grows with Time

Capital support is rapidly eroding for entrepreneurs on the frontlines of social change. The Catalyst Fund helps RSF meet the growing need created by this gap—to say yes, where others say no. To say yes to farmers regenerating the earth, to social entrepreneurs creating well-paying jobs, helping to mitigate our climate crisis, and to communities building resilient local economies. The Catalyst Fund transforms your philanthropy into fertile ground for exponential impact through capital that circulates, opportunities that multiply, and change that endures season after season.

The Catalyst Fund

  • Build a vital foundation. All lenders must maintain a cash reserve to guarantee their loans. RSF’s reserve is 2.5%. Without this fund, we can’t make the high-impact loans that power social enterprises.
  • Catalyze an exponential impact. When you donate to the Catalyst Fund, you bolster this reserve and increase the amount we’re able to lend. Since our reserve holds steady at 2.5% of our loan fund, every dollar donated means we can loan $40 more.
  • Harvest transformation. As the Catalyst Fund grows. so does our loan fund — and our collective impact. RSF’s loans finance clean energy, regenerative farms, fair trade, living wages, thriving economies, and so much more.
