Program-related investments, or PRIs, refer to a collection of financial instruments that can support a charitable project or activity. Usually structured as loans, PRIs also can be equity investments, linked deposits or loan guarantees.
Types of Projects
Rasmuson Foundation looks for PRI opportunities in family, workforce and senior housing; community and economic development; and nonprofit facilities.
This type of funding can be used to encourage and support homeownership; employment; entrepreneurship; safe, secure and affordable housing; access to essentials like childcare, health care and food; community stability; redevelopment of blighted properties into useful community assets; and nonprofit sustainability.
Eligible Organizations
To achieve these charitable outcomes, the Foundation uses PRIs to increase availability of credit and capital to nonprofits, nonprofit intermediaries, banks, community development financial institutions, and small-business developers.
Not Right For PRI
The Foundation avoids PRI projects that are bankable through traditional venues; could weaken the borrower; that seek debt reduction associated with a current loan; or that support high-risk business ventures not consistent with the Foundation’s core charitable interests.
