The Social Impact Fellowship is designed to support the development of the next generation of inspiring leaders in the social finance field. RSF also seeks to bring a fresh perspective to the organization’s business development activities.Fellows work closely with RSF’s Lending Team to identify prospective borrowers, conduct due diligence, and structure commercial loans that will become part of RSF’s $85 million Social Enterprise Lending portfolio. The Fellowship is an extension of RSF’s mission to build the field of social finance. Working with graduate students and professionals across disciplines and geographic areas not only allows RSF to build a network of advocates for the industry, it also spreads the work of social finance into places where the concept of values-aligned investing is still very nascent.Fellows use their strategic abilities to spot and qualify ground-breaking and pioneering approaches to solving pressing social problems through business. Twenty-seven fellows have completed the program since it began in 2010. For more information, please see the Announcement of the 2014-2015 RSF Social Impact Fellows at http://rsfsocialfinance.org/2014/12/2014-2015-social-impact-fellows/
