Rabo Impact Foundation

Rabo Impact Foundation was founded on the belief that sustainable societal transitions do not always occur naturally within existing market mechanisms. That’s why the foundation is committed to accelerating and supporting these transitions, especially where the market falls short.

Our impact

We are driven by the ambition to support innovators and create space for solutions that move systems forward. By accelerating initiatives where markets fall short, we aim to make sustainable transitions possible. We strive to measure our impact with care, so we can see how our efforts contribute. This way, we keep learning, improving, and together we amplify the positive effects that truly make a difference.

Our approach

We help initiatives take the next step, especially where extra support is crucial. Globally, we focus on the themes of energy, food systems, water, and circularity. In the Netherlands, we also support innovations in healthcare and affordable housing. With the right early-stage support and risk capital, our aim is to help ideas grow into solutions that can shape the world of tomorrow.
