“If there ever was a time to get smarter about philanthropy, this is it.  Donations are down, endowments have been decimated, and state and local governments are slashing their budgets.  And the number of those who need help is rising rapidly.”

Lawrence Rout, Editor, Wall Street Journal, November 9, 2009

Rainmaker will establish a game-changing marketplace for charitable and political fund-raising.  This innovative new web platform will provide a transparent, ethical, independent source of comparative information on charitable foundations and funds, academic institutions, faith-based organizations, candidates, political action committees and parties.  Individual givers, foundation managers, corporate donors, and other funding directors will now be able to utilize a single common database and distribution portal to budget, allocate, and transfer their charitable and political donations.  Rainmaker will merge a robust geographic database, with an on-line competitive marketplace and a personal investment platform.

In addition to this long-term vision, Rainmaker is a seasoned team of construction, supply chain, and military veterans looking to accelerate the reconstruction of Haiti.  By applying our professional construction management and procurement experience to individual projects, Rainmaker will match specific needs with ready solutions, donors, and local labor.  With a minimum three-year in-country commitment, Rainmaker will engage early to make a permanent contribution to a sustainable infrastructure in Haiti.
