From funds for innovative agriculture and sufficient affordable housing to investments in healthcare and a more sustainable future. This is how we create impact, together with our customers, members, and partners.
Making impact together
Through our cooperative initiatives, we support local, national, and global projects that contribute to solutions for today’s challenges, from health to sustainability. Our customers and members play a vital role in this. They share what is happening in their lives, neighborhoods, and society, helping us focus where support is needed most.
Our impact goes beyond cooperative initiatives. With our banking products and services, we help customers and members navigate through important societal challenges.
The stories below show how our cooperative approach makes a difference. Together, we are building a better world: for customers and members, for neighborhoods and communities, and for society as a whole.

Giving to charities enriches your life
Many people voluntarily give money, goods or time to make society better. This is called philanthropy. In the Netherlands, people collectively donate around 6 billion euros per year to charities.
Working together on financial health
More and more Dutch households are in debt. This causes significant stress, health problems and tension at home. To tackle this issue, businesses and government bodies have joined forces in the Stichting Financieel Gezond Nederland (Foundation for a Financially Healthy Netherlands). Rabobank is an active participant in this coalition.
Impact for neighborhoods
Rabo ClubSupport
Rabo ClubSupport offers tailored assistance to clubs and associations, such as one-on-one coaching, workshops, or masterclasses. Members then decide which clubs and associations receive financial support.

This support helps both the organizations and the people they serve become more self-reliant.
