Past Portfolio
REDF is proud of past portfolio member organizations (listed below) that, while not part of our high engagement portfolio now, have been pioneers of the social enterprise model, and continue to work toward our common goals. REDF works in different ways with a variety of organizations. We are most highly engaged with the REDF Portfolio, which we offer a combination of funding and business assistance over several years. REDF provides past portfolio members with occasional targeted funding; and also creates networking opportunities and issue-specific convenings so that we continue to learn from one another and collaborate.
