We are pleased to share Raza Development Fund's (RDF) new Strategic Framework! The Latino community is brimming with possibility. That’s why we have articulated a mission to unleash the power, promise, and potential of Latino and other under-resourced communities. Building on a solid foundation of community impact and financial strength, RDF will invest with the intention of creating a world where every Latino can achieve their dreams, build prosperity, and live in a healthy, vibrant, and resilient community. To get there, we must close the wealth and opportunity gaps and drive equity.
