Hi everyone,

Information about a scholarship fund for farmworkers was just passed
on to me and I wanted to alert all of you to it. I know no more than
I am sharing here but you can access more information via the website
(address below).


The Migrant MBA Project is the first initiative funded by the Rising
Farmworker Dream Fund (RFDF). The Project will address the Human
Capital needs of the farm working community by helping sons and
daughters of farm workers obtain business degrees. Business graduates
with a farm working background will help provide business leadership
and resources to their community.

The Rising Farmworker Dream Fund (RFDF) is a nonprofit organization
that aims to leverage the power and resources of the business sector
to enable positive social change within the American migrant farm
working community. As a venture philanthropy firm, we seek to invest
our assets – people, money, and other resources – to produce a
positive social return and create sustainable business solutions for
farm workers and their families.

We're a group of business managers, investors, entrepreneurs,
political leaders, educators, social advocates who invest in ventures
that:

**Focus on improving the social conditions of U.S. farm workers
through business initiatives
**Increase access to human, social, and financial capital within the
farm working communities
**Have clear and accountable measures of investment return

Our efforts will position farm workers and their children to achieve
their personal dreams, the American Dream, and help elevate the
status of migrant farmworkers as a whole.
