Help Put Our Kids on the Path to Success: Donate to the Rabobank Scholarship! This Scholarship was endorsed by the NAET to assist Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC ("BBBSNYC") students with essential expenses. Since 2018, the New York Markets team introduced a mentorship program with BBBSNYC, the nation's first and the city's largest youth mentoring organization. Rabobank staff have been serving as mentors (Bigs) to the high school students (Littles) through the BBBSNYC Workplace Mentoring Program. For the 2021 - 2022 year, Rabobank expanded its relationship with BBBSNYC by establishing the Rabobank Scholarship. During the first year of offering the Rabobank Scholarship, we raised over $17,000 for ten Littles! We hope with your help, we can re-create a positive impact for the senior students graduating this year — all of whom we have mentored since Sophomore year. You are eligible to receive matching funds for your donation, up to $ 500.00! The Rabobank Scholarship Fund campaign is open and live now until June 4, 2024.

"At least 136 people have died in the floods since they began last week, and 125 more are missing, local authorities said Friday. The number of people displaced from their homes because of the torrential rains has surpassed 400,000, of whom 70,000 are sheltering in gyms, schools and other temporary locations". (AP News on 12 May 2024) People affected by the floods need clean water, warm clothes, blankets, hygiene products, and food. Many lost their homes and are living in improvised shelters as their towns and neighborhoods were heavily damaged or completely lost.

Recent floods in Brazil have left over a million people without homes and access to clean drinking water. Our colleagues and portfolio companies are among those affected by this tragedy. Given this, we would like to highlight Central Unica da Favela, a non-profit organization that is leading the main efforts to raise relief funds. Remember, every contribution counts and together we can make a difference. Thank you for your continued dedication to giving back to our global community.
