Another great option is RSF Social Finance’s Social Investment Fund, which currently offers a 3.00% return (return varies quarterly, with a 3.50% average over the last 3 years). The fund provides loans to nonprofit and social enterprises dedicated to transforming the world in the areas of Food & Agriculture, Education & the Arts, and Ecological Stewardship. While not FDIC insured, RSF’s Social Investment Fund has always paid investors their return, and the borrower default rate is lower than 1.00%. The minimum investment amount is just $1,000 and the minimum investment period is three months. Visit http://www.RSFSocialFinance.org to learn more about what we can do together.
RSF Social Finance is a nonprofit financial services organization at the center of a growing movement to support a network of place-based, local economies that value human beings and the environment. Inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, RSF provides capital for innovative nonprofit and for-profit social enterprises dedicated to transforming the world. In partnership with our donors and investors, RSF has made over $145 million in loans and over $65 million in grants since 1984.
