Overview

NOTE: Although we do not accept unsolicited proposals, we invite organizations to send us information about programs and initiatives you see as a fit within our program priorities. Organizations invited to submit proposals will have the opportunity to do so through our online web portal. What We Support The Rauch Foundation takes an entrepreneurial approach to promoting change by investing in areas where we can have a fundamental impact. Our mission has two main priorities: To promote a healthy planet through research into global food systems.To promote the financial preparedness of rising generations of students by supporting schools in the delivery of financial literacy programs Building on the Rauch Foundation’s long history of providing evidence-based research and data to inform policy, our work in food systems is centered on exploring the nexus between the food we consume and the systems involved in its financing, sourcing, production and delivery. Using the island of Poros, Greece and its efforts to stop the expansion of open net pen industrial fish farming as a case study, we have been laying out a case for how global, national, and regional actions can impact the health of a community, its economy, and the local environment. Our school-based work in financial literacy acknowledges growing national support for a curriculum that helps young people develop the skills to navigate a successful future for themselves and their families. Working for systemic change. The Rauch Foundation invests in ideas and organizations that spark positive systemic change. We are not afraid of controversial ideas, original approaches, or new ways to tackle old problems. However, we do look for sound data, leadership, other grant partners, strong management skills, and a focus on evidence-based outcomes. Once we invest in the work of an organization, our involvement may include a long-term partnership or assistance with capacity building and leadership. We are committed to partnering with nonprofits and NGOs, the private sector, labor, research institutions, universities, the media, and other funders to help achieve shared goals and work through common issues.
