PURPOSE

Rainy Day Fund works to eliminate the financial barriers that prevent individuals from exiting or avoiding the legal system by assisting with costs associated with housing, employment, securing identification, restoration of rights, court costs, and other immediate needs.

MISSION

We work to provide funding to help meet the immediate needs and alleviate financial barriers to success for individuals who are involved in (or at risk of) involvement with the US legal system.

VISION

We envision a community where one’s risk of legal system involvement is not dependent upon one’s ability to pay for their immediate needs.

Grateful beyond words. 💛

This week, we received a thank-you note from a client we supported through our Legal Name and Gender Marker Change Program. Trusting us with such an important step is something we never take lightly.

Everyone deserves to be affirmed for who they are. 🌈

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

5 years. Hundreds of lives supported. One mission.

On 12/2/25, Rainy Day Fund celebrated five years of impact and our Sunshine Social helps make that impact possible. 🌞

This event is our largest fundraiser of the year, and while we’d love to see you in person on March 12, you don’t have to attend to support our work.

💛 Can’t make it?
💛 Still believe in our mission?
💛 Want to help someone move toward stability?

You can donate anytime and make a real difference.

Grateful beyond words 💙

Because of your generosity, we raised $8,286 and thanks to an anonymous donor, these funds will be matched, doubling the impact to $16,572 ✨

Every dollar will go directly toward removing financial barriers and supporting more clients when it matters most.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and believed in this work. This is what compassion in action looks like.
