About RDF
RDF was founded 20 years ago as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and a support organization to UnidosUS. True to our founding principles of service to the poor, dignity of the human person and solid business management, our mission is to invest capital and create financial solutions to increase opportunities for Latino and poor families across the country.
Today, Raza is the largest Latino focused national CDFI with nearly half a billion dollars in assets under management and a Standard & Poor’s investment-grade rating of AA-. Since inception, RDF has provided organizations serving Latino and poor families in 38 states with technical assistance and financings in excess of $1 billion, which have leveraged over $5 billion in private and public capital for education, childcare, affordable housing, social services projects, and most recently small businesses.

In celebration of our growth and impact for the past 20 years, Raza Development Fund recognized four organizations with the Community Excellence Award for their continued advancement of Latino and poor families. These organizations represent the heart and soul of the projects that we fund and the communities that we serve. 20 years of service could not be made possible without the servant leadership of countless individuals that have touched RDF.
