What We Invest In
Capital where it counts most
We invest in the building blocks of strong communities—fueling local ideas in healthcare, education, housing, small business, and resilience with the capital and support to turn vision into impact.
Health
We support community health centers that provide, high-quality care. We are particularly focused on health centers that deliver essential, culturally competent care where it’s needed most.
Affordable Housing
RDF invests in both for-profit and nonprofit developers dedicated to building affordable multifamily and homeownership properties in communities across the U.S. From single family homes to apartment communities, the projects we finance allow individuals and families to secure safe, affordable housing—laying a strong foundation to thrive, build stability, and pursue greater opportunities for the future.
Education
RDF finances charter, private and parochial schools that make success attainable for all children. Our educational investments include everything from early childhood classrooms to college preparatory schools and vocational and technical learning centers, all designed to cultivate academic excellence and high expectations, empowering students to unleash their full potential and build brighter futures.
Home Ownership
Homeownership is an integral part of the American dream. We support community organizations that work directly with families on the path to homeownership by providing access to down payment assistance programs, and resources such as financial education and homebuyer readiness classes.
Small Business
RDF provides capital and resources from a wide range of partners to strengthen and expand organizations that directly serve small businesses with innovative financing solutions, strategic investments, and capacity-building support.
Community Resiliency
Communities across the country are experiencing wildfires, hurricanes and floods at unprecedented levels. Natural disasters can often lead economic disasters. To preserve community and family wealth, we help organizations build and renovate resilient homes and facilities, fostering healthier, more sustainable environment where families and communities can thrive.
