To bring the Rato Bangala experience to a larger community, the Rato Bangala Foundation (RBF), a not-for-profit organization, was established in 2002. The RBF collaborates with the Bank Street College of Education in New York and Kathmandu University to run accredited teacher-training programs, the one-year Primary Teacher Training Programme (PTTP), which leads to the Post Graduate Diploma in Education at Kathmandu University. RBF also provides the 10-month Skill Development Training for Primary Teachers and the three-month Child-Centered Learning Level One Training. RBF provides the opportunity for the professional growth of RBS teachers by being trainees, trainers, and advisors.

RBF received the Hamdan Bin Al-Maktoum Prize for Outstanding Practice and Performance in Enhancing the Effectiveness of Teachers from the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2012.
