Funds in Human Rights

We stand united in our condemnation of the terrorist attacks that occurred in Israel. The senseless violence of yet another war and the horrific images we are all witnessing are painful and hard to bear. We stand together in support of the victims on both sides, and all colleagues, friends, families and clients who have been impacted. Rabobank has created a fund in Bright Funds for those who wish to provide humanitarian aid to the victims, their families and communities. Employees are encouraged to donate to this Fund or related non-profits of their choosing. Reach out to grace.reynolds@rabobank.com with any questions. Please note that the composition of organizations included in this Fund is subject to change as more information becomes available about needs on the ground.

The terror affecting the Ukrainian people has deeply shocked the employees, customers and members of Rabobank. “To see a child fleeing Russian shells, leaving the warm memories of home for an unknown destination: it is heartbreaking. This war is a stain on our history,” says Managing Board chair Wiebe Draijer. “We see the images of refugees, we see the upheaval, and we feel powerless. Our thoughts are with the victims of this barbaric violence, their families and the Ukrainian people.” This invasion is horrific. We hope that government leaders will find a way to end the violence and bring stability back to Europe on all fronts. It is heartening to see that countless initiatives have been launched around the world to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine. We cannot and do not want to stand back and watch. Rabobankers in North America are encouraged to support the following organizations that urgently need funding to address the humanitarian crisis brought on by Russia's brutal attack of Ukraine- the Bank will match donations to the fund or any individual charities listed. Please reach out to Michael.Rinaldi@Rabobank.com if you have any questions.
