Building a Netork: Social Investment

Throughout our lifetime, TRF’s message of opportunity and equity has drawn every kind of investor: government, financial institutions, religious investors, individuals and foundations of all sizes. A network of more than 800 investors share TRF’s vision.

TRF's capital under management has
grown from $1.8 million in 1990 to

$679 million

in 2010.

The breadth of this network is the basis of our strength and success. TRF’s mission-driven investors maintain a commitment to finding market-based mechanisms for creating lasting impact in low-wealth communities. They provide precious capital to test new waters and attract more market-based institutional investors. TRF’s investors are our backbone.

TRF is a prudent and responsible investment manager. The CDFI industry has given us its top rating each time – AAA+1. The CDFI Assessment and Ratings System (CARS) indicates that we are first-rate in terms of our financial systems, impact and policy work.

Socially-motivated capital fuels innovation. From TRF, investors get real results and a reasonable return, demonstrating the power of community investment.
