Since 1984, RSF has maintained a 100% repayment rate – plus interest – to
our community of investors, and has made over $230 million in loans to
social enterprises through this program. Historical rates of return are
similar to those of a bank

Fund for Complementary Currencies

The Fund for Complementary Currencies is a special charitable fund launched
in 2004 to support the development of new and sustainable approaches to
economic exchange that complement the existing financial system. It has
funded the research and development of BerkShares<http://www.berkshares.org/>
, TimeBanks <http://www.timebanks.org/>, and
GETS<httphttp://www.getsglobal.com/>(Global
Exchange Trade System), as well as other innovative research projects. To

*Shared Gifting Groups

Practiced first as part of RSF’s Mid-States Shared Gifting
Program<http://rsfsocialfinance.org/services/giving/focus/mid-states-shared-gifting-group/>,
and now included as an integral part of our Focus Area
Funds<http://rsfsocialfinance.org/services/giving/focus>,
shared gifting brings together peer groups of donors and grantees to share
proposed needs and then collectively decide on the distribution of
available funds. The donors’ role is simply to determine the total amount
available for granting. This eliminates the typical grantor-grantee power
dynamic, and replaces it with an inherently mutual process and outcome.
