REDF has placed over 200 Farber Fellows at Portfolio companies since 1997.

Many of our alumni return to/enter the private sector, working for consulting firms, financial institutions, or tech companies, with the vast majority staying connected to the social sector through board engagement or volunteering. Others work in the social sector, continuing their careers at a social enterprise, impact investing firm, or philanthropic institution. Wherever they land, alumni cite their experience with REDF and our partners as a transformative experience.
