Description
1) Objective
Rabo Foundation’s objective is to support cooperative and member based organisations in selected countries to achieve sustainable rural economic development. Their focus is on access to finance and small producer support. They support their partner organisations with loans, guarantees and/or technical assistance. Grants can only be considered if they contribute to institutional development and capacity building. An organisation should be able to cover its costs ultimately without grants and subsidies.

They support:
- Funding for farmers’ organizations
