360° Impact
WHY
Rainmaker Ad Ventures is committed to elevating humanity through conscious capitalism. By combining social responsibility with entrepreneurship, we create a 360º Impact that enhances the lives of our clients, our team members, our partners, as well as people in need around the planet.
HOW
Everyone’s lives are impacted by our success because the more growth we drive for our clients, the more real and measurable difference we’re able to make through increased contributions to meaningful charities that are working to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges including: life saving clean water projects, childhood hunger initiatives, hurricane relief, mental health research, poverty abatement projects, animal rescue, whale and dolphin conservation, Cancer and Alzheimer’s research and much more.
SPOTLIGHT
Nearly in 1 in 10 people worldwide (over 633 million people) live without clean water. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. The amazing thing is almost half of those diseases can be eliminated with simple access to clean water and access to clean water means education, income and health – especially for women and kids. In fact, every $1 invested in clean water can yield $4-12 in economic returns.
In partnership with charity: water, Rainmaker has funded it’s first life saving clean water project in Nepal, where the terrain is hilly, water sources are difficult and dangerous to access, and the water itself is highly contaminated. On average, women there spend more than 2.5 hours a day collecting water for their families. We are extremely proud to learn that thanks to our support, charity: water will be building an entire water project to help change the lives of these families – our project breaks ground in July 2019!
“Thank you for sponsoring an entire water project and in-vesting in the future! And thank you for believing in a world where no one drinks dirty water.”

Childhood hunger is inextricably tied to many of the major issues facing our nation, including housing affordability, income inequality and poverty. No kid should struggle to learn at school because they’re hungry, so Rainmaker proudly supports the efforts of No Kid Hungry to provide school breakfasts and other important meal programs to millions of needy children across America.
No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. After 25 years of successfully investing in local nonprofits and helping find the best approaches to eradicating poverty and hunger, Share Our Strength launched No Kid Hungry in 2010.
“Wow! Thank you for your gifts and your interest in our work… For the many kids that will benefit from your generosity, it makes a difference.”

NO KID HUNGRY
Carousel of Care
One of the most powerful ways to create positive change in the world is to support meaningful charities with financial donations. The challenge, however, is that so many causes need help that it can be difficult, if not overwhelming, to choose just one or two.
Therefore, in addition to larger donations to our two primary 360 IMPACT charities (charity: water and No Kid Hungry), we also use a “Carousel of Care” approach to guide our philanthropy throughout the year. Each month we donate to a different charity that’s particularly in need or is significant to our founder, team members or clients.
For example, when Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma hit, we donated to Direct Relief, You Caring, and other relief-related causes. When a family member of one of our team members was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, we gave to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. When a client was having mental health issues, we gave to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation.
By choosing different charities each month, we personalize our philanthropy to what is most vital to us. It enables us to be conscious of and react to what’s going on the world, which makes our giving that much more meaningful.
