RABAF gifts and invests to drive impact through education

RABAF focuses on education innovation in Latin America. Its goal is to drive paradigm-shifting approaches that rethink how education systems serve children, adolescents, and adults. Rather than funding existing educational structures, RABAF supports innovations that can reshape education systems and operate sustainably beyond government-dependent models.

Our Mission

Inspired by a Life of Learning and New Ideas

Our founder, Richard A. Busemeyer, dedicated his life to thinking differently and encouraging others to do the same. He created RABAF to support bold ideas that challenge traditional structures and open pathways for meaningful impact.

Our Founder
