Rainbow Foundation

Our Mission

The Rainbow Hospice Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entity chartered with a singular mission—to provide financial support for Rainbow Hospice Care Inc.

The Rainbow Hospice Foundation regularly collaborates with individual donors wishing to do legacy gifting in support of Rainbow Hospice Care and partners with local businesses interested in raising funds that enable us to prevent unnecessary suffering.

Recent examples of donor/partner fundraising initiatives include sales of Rainbow branded coffee produced by Berres Brothers Coffee Roasters, the annual Linda’s Lookout Bar & Restaurant Tailgate Party, and the annual Rainbow Hospice Golf Outing at Lake Ripley Country Club in Cambridge.

Kindness Fund

Sometimes, you don’t need a reason to help someone. Everyone experiences kindness at some point in their life. For many people they are looking for opportunities to show a little kindness when good fortune finds them.

The Kindness Fund is just for those times. It is a way to give a small donation to provide a lasting impact in the life of a patient and their family.
