Review for Reece's Rainbow | Special Needs Adoption Support, Combined Locks, WI, USA
I am a near weekly donor to and fund raiser for Reece's Rainbow. I am exceedingly pleased with the handling of the money I donate. Any time I have questioned finances, answers, with evidence (when necessary), are given within a few hours. As a fund raiser, I have great appreciation that money raised for a particular child stays with that child, esp if a family finds they are unable to adopt a child they were hoping to adopt. RR has given families quite an opportunity to fund raise through their site. I, as a donor, like that the money I give to a family is not dispersed until travel dates are given. This ensures that my donations, in fact, will be used for the adoption costs, and holds to accountability as to how adoption funds will be used. Yes, some is given to the Voice of Hope for operating expenses, but how on earth is RR supposed to operate without funding? Most non profits take a far higher percentage out for operating costs. This is an incredible organization that I feel strongly serves families and children, and gives a loud voice to children with special needs. Andrea, the RR staff, and volunteers work hard to be that loud voice and to raise funds for both child grants and for fund raising families.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
*Volunteer training for advocates--some speak out of turn on issues they shouldn't and think they should have say in how the organization is run **Understand that ALL organizations make policy changes based on experiences and advise of wise counsel. There will always be points of disagreement on those policies by some.
