The RSF Social Investment Fund provides a unique opportunity to invest in a diversified, direct loan fund comprised of over 75 leading non-profit and for-profit social enterprises. It represents a great way to achieve substantial social and environmental “returns” while generating a financial return similar to that of a bank CD.
Investments in this fund support RSF’s Core Lending Program, which provides mortgage loans, working capital lines of credit, and inventory financing exclusively to non-profit and for-profit organizations dedicated to improving the well-being of society and the environment. The RSF Social Investment Fund provides capital to high-impact organizations that often cannot find financing elsewhere. Since 1984, RSF has maintained a 100% repayment rate – plus interest – to our community of investors, and has made over $230 million in loans to social enterprises through this program.
