I chose to create a Donor Advised Fund at RSF as
one way to direct some of my inheritance from my
mother, who shared many of RSF’s values. I want
to be a part of and support an organization that so
genuinely holds the question of how we can work
with money in a way that serves the common good,
rather than one that tears us and this beautiful
planet apart.

When we connected with RSF about the options
for corporate giving, we decided to open a Donor
Advised Fund (DAF) to streamline our granting
activities and explore opportunities for more
collaborative giving. Most of our DAF money comes
from our annual proceeds, but also our community.
Customers would often ask if they could donate
money to us, but we have turned them down in
the past, because of our for-profit status. With our
RSF DAF, we can now welcome these contributions
that help support our broader mission of advancing
the resilience and vitality of the cooperatives and
communities with whom we work.

RSF’s Donor Advised Fund investments are placed
in funds, community banks, and companies that are
mission-driven and focused on climate change and
social justice.
RSF believes that gift money has an important role
to play, seeding new ideas, building community, and
taking risks. Rather than seek market-rate returns as
a primary goal, we make appropriate risk and return
tradeoffs to optimize for impact-first.
