Who we are
As a provider of impact funding, we operate worldwide to achieve continuous positive change: economic, social and ecological change. Every day we’re getting closer to our ideal: a fair and sustainable society in which everyone can genuinely participate.
Our mission and vision
We support people striving for economic independence and eager to participate. We invest in solutions by collaborating with innovative organizations tackling societal challenges.
Partnership is our power
Together, we achieve more. Through well-organized cooperation and shared knowledge, we strengthen each other. We believe in the power of motivated people working towards a better future for themselves and their communities.
Together we work hard to make positive change
Our approach combines those two strengths: we help people make progress by investing in the growth of farmers’ organizations and social enterprises. To them, we’re more than just a lender: we’re an adviser, a knowledge partner and a matchmaker.
Here’s where we make a difference
Outside the Netherlands we operate in countries that have lots of disadvantaged smallholder farmers. That’s where we can make the greatest positive change happen. You will find us in no less than 22 countries, spread over four continents.
We’ve been doing this since 1974
Experience matters. For 50 years we’ve been working to offer growth opportunities to millions of people. We’re constantly adding more knowledge, partners and money to these efforts. This is how we honor our long-standing cooperative roots.
Our organization
Rabo Foundation is an independent foundation. We have a Supervisory Board which includes representatives of local banks and parts of Rabobank Group.
