RDF provides responsible and attainable financial solutions to community-based organizations focused on health, education, affordable housing, climate resilience, homeownership, and entrepreneurship. RDF was founded in 1999 as a support organization to UnidosUS, the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy nonprofit, formerly known as the National Council of La Raza. RDF stands out as one of the few CDFIs with a prestigious AA- S&P rating. Since its inception, RDF has invested more than $1.5 billion across 38 states, leveraging over $6 billion in additional capital. RDF is committed to closing wealth and opportunity gaps in Latino and other under-resourced communities across the United States. 

RDF's unique focus on the Latino community and its commitment to providing financial solutions for community development sets it apart from other CDFIs. RDF's AA- S&P rating is a testament to its financial strength and stability. Additionally, RDF's long history and experience in the CDFI industry make it a trusted partner for community-based organizations.[/description][ps]Financial solutions for community development organizations focused on health, education, affordable housing, climate resilience, homeownership, and entrepreneurship.[/ps]
