🚨 Calling All Local Businesses! 🚨

We have a challenge for our community...

Rainy Day Fund is seeking local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, retail stores, service providers, and other businesses willing to:

💙 Host a Percentage Day

💙 Display a Donation Box

💙 Become a Community Partner

The best part? These opportunities are simple, affordable, and show your customers that you're invested in strengthening our community.

Every dollar raised helps us continue removing financial barriers and supporting individuals and families throughout South Carolina.

After months of nonstop work serving our community, the team at Rainy Day Fund will be taking a much-needed break.

Our office will be closed beginning Wednesday, May 20, 2026 through Sunday, May 31, 2026. We will reopen on Monday, June 1, 2026.

Since January 2025, our team has worked tirelessly to support individuals and families across our community, and this short pause will allow us time to rest, recharge, and return refreshed and ready to continue the important work ahead.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support. Thank you for standing with us as we continue working toward hope, stability, and opportunity for those we serve.

We’re asking our community for something powerful: CONNECTIONS. 💛

At Rainy Day Fund, we see every day how social injustice and inequities within South Carolina’s criminal legal system create barriers for people simply trying to move forward with dignity and stability.

Our recent Midlands Gives campaign reminded us that people care deeply about this work, but sustaining impact takes more than one fundraising day.

We’re hoping to connect with:
💛 Philanthropy groups
💛 Foundation board members
💛 Community investors
💛 Businesses that believe in second chances
💛 People willing to introduce us to changemakers

If you know someone connected to funding organizations, charitable foundations, or philanthropic networks that believe in long-term impact and systems change, we would truly appreciate an introduction.

And if you’ve been looking for a way to support consistently, becoming a monthly donor helps us continue showing up for individuals and families when they need it most.

Even small monthly gifts create lasting impact.

Please share this post, tag someone who should know about our work, or send us a message. You never know which connection could change everything. 💛

We are incredibly grateful. 💛

Because of YOU, Rainy Day Fund had a strong showing during Midlands Gives this year and every single donation made a difference.

To everyone who gave, shared, encouraged, and showed up for us, thank you. You are part of something bigger than a single day.

We also want to give a special thank you to The Cheerful Giver and the African American Philanthropy Committee for their generous support and belief in our mission.

Your kindness helps us do what matters most:
💛 Remove barriers
💛 Create opportunities
💛 Support second chances

Midlands Gives may be over, but the work continues and so does the need.
