Current Portfolio
We have the power to end joblessness. Doing so requires strategic investment, a long-term commitment, sharing knowledge, and capacity building for effective organizations. These are the hallmarks of REDF’s approach. We invest in early-stage nonprofit enterprises, providing business assistance, access to networks, and financial support.
REDF launched a new portfolio in 2007. The organizations from our first portfolio are now part of the Original Portfolio. Our current partnerships include the following REDF Portfolio organizations:

San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) enables at-risk young adults to become economically self-sufficient by providing them with education, work experience, and career development assistance. According to former REDF Board member Stuart Moldaw, who helped select SFCC for the REDF Portfolio, “My visit to the San Francisco Conservation Corps showed me what wonderful work they do, and how good a fit they will be as a member of REDF’s portfolio. I was especially impressed with the presentations made by the young people from the work crews.” More » |
