In 2021, we invested a total of €40.7 million in 400 organizations, ranging from producers’ cooperatives in Africa to social enterprises in the Netherlands. Our Annual Impact Report 2021 details how these funds and the various projects are spread around the world.

We use various types of funding, the main one of which are loans. We favor loans because they help people achieve economic independence more quickly due to the fact that loans promote personal responsibility. We reallocate the loan repayments so we can fund a larger number of organizations on an annual basis. We also provide funding in the form of donations, technical support, guarantees (mainly in India) and trade financing.

Rabo Foundation was established in 1974 as Rabobank’s social fund. Since our inception, we have been receiving annual contributions from Rabobank, its employees and customers in the form of donations of all sizes. We are also using Rabobank’s knowhow and network to add more value for our project partners. Rabo Foundation is not part of Rabobank in a legal sense.

The donations are allocated to value-based organizations who create opportunities for people to increase their economic independence, including agricultural cooperatives in which smallholder farmers unite to strengthen their position and bargain for fairer prices. We also support social enterprises committed to finding employment for motivated but disadvantaged job seekers.

Your (one-off, monthly or annual) donation will be divided over all our projects, so it’s spent where it is most needed at that moment. In our annual report you can read more about how the donations have been spent in recent years. And we keep this page up to date with actual stories about the impact of your donation.
