Rainmaker Foundation

Small but mighty philanthropic foundation building a community for greater social impact!

About us

In the U.K. today, only 1.3% of the 183,000 registered charities reach scale, and one in five small charities believe they will collapse in the coming year, despite an annual income of over £79bn into the sector. Our challenges are getting bigger and more complex, yet the organisations set up to solve some of these challenges are stuck in their aility to scale. 

Rainmaker Foundation exists to accelerate the impact of small charities with great potential. We do this by catalysing the emergence of a supportive, startup-style ecosystem around small/medium sized chariteis. We run a range of programmes designed to provide a safe space for charities to engage with disruptive thinking, to innovate their organisation, access new networks, and best in class technology tools from the commercial sector in order to amplify their impact. 

We deliver our programmes by engaging our community of 100+ experts, mentors business leaders, philanthropists and partner organisations providing pathways to capital, networks and resources.
