Rainbow World Fund's photostream  

Founded in 2000, Rainbow World Fund (RWF) is an international relief agency based in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and friends community. RWF’s mission is to promote LGBT philanthropy in the area of world humanitarian relief. RWF works to help people who suffer from hunger, poverty, disease, oppression and war by raising awareness and funds to support relief efforts around the world. RWF provides a united voice, a large visible presence, and a structure to deliver LGBT charitable assistance to the larger world community.

RWF works in the LGBT and friends community educating people about world need. Along with raising our community’s consciousness, RWF raises funds to support humanitarian relief projects. RWF works with partners around the world on various relief and sustainable development projects. By doing extensive research, RWF develops partnerships with the most effective organizations that best reflect our guiding principles: empowerment, sustainability, peacemaking, measurable impact and ecological awareness. Our partners include Adopt-A-Minefield, Africare, America's Second Harvest, CARE, and Water Partners International. RWF also conducts global awareness tours to Central America.

Currently our work focuses on global HIV/AIDS, water development, landmine eradication, hunger, and disaster relief. RWF currently supports projects in Africa, Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and the United States.
