Giving questions

Know where your gift goes.

Can I give monthly?

Yes. Choose either fund and a monthly amount of $25, $50, $100 or $250 USD. Your gift to the selected fund is charged now and automatically each month until canceled. There is no trial. Email dylan@rainesfoundation.org to request cancellation.

What does the 100% model mean?

Our model allocates 100% of each gross Project Fund gift to approved partner project delivery. The Operations Fund must cover payment and transfer fees, foundation salaries, fundraising and administration. Partner project budgets may include local delivery staff, training, maintenance and monitoring.

How are Project Fund gifts used?

Project Fund gifts are designated for approved partner project delivery in our focus areas. Gifts can be held until suitable projects are approved. We have not yet announced approved partner projects or completed project outcomes.

Are funds paid automatically to partners?

No. Gifts are administered by the foundation. Project grants require due diligence, approval and a written agreement. Fund designations are tracked in payment records; separate bank accounts and accounting reconciliation must be maintained by the foundation.
