Donation FAQs

After donating, you’ll immediately receive an email receipt suitable for tax purposes, along with a paper acknowledgment by mail.

Planned giving helps RAINN expand vital programs supporting survivors long into the future. You can include RAINN in your will through estate gifts, life-income arrangements, charitable trusts, or by naming us as a retirement or insurance beneficiary.
