What We Invest In

Through our Comunidad Sana Fund, we support community health centers that bring affordable, high-quality care to underserved Latino communities. We are particularly focused on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which deliver essential, culturally competent care where it’s needed most. As a vital part of the nation’s workforce and population, the health of the Latino community is directly tied to America’s well-being and prosperity, and by empowering Latino families to build healthier futures, we help pave the way for a stronger, more vibrant America.

RDF invests in both for-profit and nonprofit developers dedicated to building affordable multifamily and homeownership properties in Latino communities across the U.S. From single-family homes to apartment communities, the projects we finance allow individuals and families to secure safe, affordable housing—laying a strong foundation to thrive, build stability, and pursue greater opportunities for the future.

RDF finances charter, private and parochial schools that make success attainable for Latino and underserved children. Our educational investments include everything from early childhood classrooms to college preparatory schools and vocational and technical learning centers, all designed to cultivate academic excellence and high expectations, empowering students to unleash their full potential and build brighter futures. 

Homeownership is a powerful tool for building intergenerational wealth. That's why RDF is collaborating with UnidosUS on its HOME initiative, which aims to create 4 million new Hispanic homeowners by 2030. We provide access to capital and down payment assistance programs to community organizations that work directly with Latino individuals and families, empowering them to achieve the dream of homeownership.

We invest in national and local CDFIs that provide essential lending services to small businesses. Through partnership with UnidosUS affiliates and other community-based organizations, we help increase access to capital and resources, empowering Latino and other small business owners to grow their ventures and build family and generational wealth.

Climate change impacts every aspect of our lives, making resilient communities essential. We embed clean energy, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate adaptation strategies into all our investments. By supporting organizations in climate-proofing their facilities, providing affordable housing developers with the capital to build and renovate climate-resilient homes, and ensuring that health clinics are equipped to withstand climate emergencies, we’re fostering healthier, more sustainable environments where Latino families and communities can thrive.
