RDF's Social Return on Investment: Education Finance
Learning about RDF's impact in education

At RDF we stand by our mission to invest capital and provide specialty financing solutions that increase opportunities for Latino and low-income families throughout the US in the areas of Education, Housing Affordability, Healthcare, and Small Business initiatives. RDF utilizes analytical tools to ensure we target our financing in communities where we can maximize our social return on investment. We also strive to provide enhanced data visualization to truly show the impact of these investments.

We took a deeper dive into RDF’s support of the education community: our educators, parents, and our students. As we work together to overcome the challenges of the pandemic, we believe investing in our education community is more important than ever. We encourage you to explore our Education data dashboard to learn more about RDF’s impact in education.
