Why 21 Days of Hope?

We are nearly at the halfway point for the 21 Days of Hope campaign!

A donor has offered $21,000 to give to 21 of our waiting children
if we can raise $21,000 for our Voice of Hope fund.

So, what is the Voice of Hope?

The Voice of Hope fund is what keeps us operational.

If we're going to continue to be successful saving lives, Reece's Rainbow has to be "out there,"  attending and sponsoring strategic events, print advertising, leveraging social media, building relationships, and seeking new donors to support our mission.  And behind the scenes, 7 days a week of administrative effort goes into managing/creating our website, defining our graphic/logo presence, handling donations, seeking and posting new waiting children, answering new family inquiries, serving those families through the adoption process, tracking and disbursing grant funds, taxes and accounting, charitable status, organizing Buddy Walks and preparing for and implementing our many fundraising efforts throughout the year.   Our Voice of Hope fund is where that money comes from.  Without this, we simply can not do what we do, and many lives will be lost as a result!

Reece's Rainbow is totally non profit. We do SO much on comparatively SO little. Our operational costs remain below 10%, which is hard to do because we want to be able to do so much more for the children!   We cut out a lot of really great opportunities each year due to cost.   Reece's Rainbow functions solely on private donations.   We've done everything possible to maximize each donation and give as much as possible to the waiting children and committed families.  At this time, we do not have any corporate or government funding, so we are completely dependent on your generous gifts to keep us going.

So what can you do to help this year's 21 Days of Hope children each receive their $1000 grant?
