At Rainbow World Fund, we match our relief activities with humanitarian service agencies and national institutions to fund and support existing relief efforts. By supporting established programs, we avoid "reinventing the wheel" and duplicating existing efforts.

We want every dollar we distribute to have the greatest impact, one that will last. Through extensive research, we select the most effective programs that reflect RWF's guiding principles:

Empowerment

RWF supports programs that foster rapid independence, self-reliance and self-determination while respecting cultural and community traditions.

Sustainability

RWF supports programs that can endure beyond the Rainbow World Fund's involvement.

Peacemaking

RWF supports programs promoting tolerance and understanding of differences among people and cultures.

Measurable Impact
RWF supports programs that demonstrate consistent positive impact.
