Put the child back in childhood.
Children's Rainbow Fund exists to create, fund, support and expand opportunities for children and families to experience more joy, belonging, creativity, movement, kindness, connection, imagination and community.
Childhood has changed.
Children are growing up in a world filled with more screens, pressure, isolation, stress and adult problems than ever before.
We believe communities can intentionally create something different.
Children need places to play. Families need places to belong. Parents need support. Communities need connection.
And sometimes the most powerful intervention is simply giving a child the opportunity to experience childhood.
That is why Children's Rainbow Fund exists.
Joy + Belonging + Creativity + Movement + Kindness + Purpose = Healthy Communities
Joy
Not a reward for finishing the hard things — the point of a childhood.
Belonging
A child who is known by their community grows up differently.
Creativity
Open-ended making builds the thinking nothing else does.
Movement
Bodies that run, climb, dance, wander and genuinely rest.
Kindness
Children learn it by first being on the receiving end of it.
Purpose
Even the smallest people need to feel that they matter here.
"What should every kid get to do? Ride bikes until it's dark."
"What makes you happy? When my whole family is in the same room."
"What would make your town more fun? A place that's always open for kids."
A mission you can act on today.
Every gift, hour and partnership turns straight into a child's actual afternoon.
