Raza Development Fund
Phoenix, AZ
Raza Development Fund’s mission is to create financing solutions that increase opportunities for the Latino community and low-income families in the areas of affordable housing, education and health care. But our mission is deeper. RDF truly invests in the dreams and hopes of NCLR Affiliates and other not-for-profit social service organizations building up their communities, and thereby touching the lives of thousands of families.
RDF was formed with the strong conviction that the stewardship of dollars loaned or the technical support given to organizations would have measurable impact on Hispanic families; and that the relationship with our borrowers would be a business partnership with the goal that the borrowing organizations would ultimately become bankable on their own merits. Therefore, we engaged our borrowers with deep underwriting of their projects, focusing on impact on families, management leadership and financial viability - a formula that has allowed the organizations and RDF to fulfill their dreams.
