Who We Fund

How We Invest

Our investments are long-term, made possible through donations to REDF from generous individuals and foundations.

We strengthen our financial investment in nonprofits by providing guidance and leadership.

Social enterprises and other nonprofit initiatives funded by REDF create jobs for people who face barriers to employment, such as homelessness, a criminal history, or coming from low-income communities that offer few opportunities.

Social enterprises do two things: employ people who need jobs and return revenue to these innovative programs. Employees receive both jobs and life-skills training. REDF assists its portfolio organizations in a variety of ways, most notably by providing financing for organizational infrastructure, access to additional funds for capital expenses, strategic business development assistance, and access to business networking opportunities, social outcome measurement and technological tools and training.
