Since its inception, RDF has provided organizations serving low-income families – with a particular focus on Hispanic families – in 38 states with technical assistance and financing in excess of $1 billion, which has leveraged over $5 billion in private and public capital for education, childcare, affordable housing, social service projects and most recently, small businesses.
At this exciting and pivotal time in the history of the CDFI movement, Raza Development Fund is seeking a visionary President and CEO with the ability to continue to grow the impact of the organization as it responds to an evolving financial sector.

This leader is responsible for the business affairs of the organization and reports directly to the Board of Directors. The CEO is responsible for sustaining, building and delivering on the mission of RDF and meeting the needs of its broad and varied constituents. This includes driving an innovative strategic plan that envisions growth and expanded impact, new initiatives and an even stronger infrastructure.
