Mix of rolling small seed grants ($500–$5,000) and larger program-related loans or mission-aligned investments ($50,000–$5,000,000); funding is program-driven (seed funds, New Initiatives, Social Enterprise Lending) with rolling intake and emphasis on projects that can scale toward financial independence. Also operates donor-advised funds and occasional grant elements within lending deals.
Most opportunities are rolling—submit early and emphasize regenerative impact, clear path to financial sustainability, and community benefit. Apply for small Seed Fund grants for pilot projects or community work; pursue the Social Enterprise Lending program for growth-stage needs and be prepared with financials and a scaling plan. If unsure, contact RSF for program-specific guidance or explore their donor-advised and lending program pages for eligibility details.
