What Reece's Rainbow Inc does
Mission
Reece's rainbow advocates and provides grant funding for the international adoption of children with down syndrome and other specials needs exclusively.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Waiting child grant fund:our waiting child grant fund(which includes funds raiased during our annual christmas angel tree project),accepts donations for individual orphans with down syndrome and other special needs living in foreign orphanages.these funds are held as adoption grants for each child and encourage potential adoptive families to adopt the child,knowing there is funding available to help with costs.in only 10 years, the waiting child grants have made it possible for over 1,500 orphans with down syndrome and other special needs to find their "forever families".they have been saved from life and death in a mental institution and brought into loving american and canadian families. 90% of each donation goes to the child and 10% goes to our voice of hope funds to help with operational cost.
$75,687 spentof which $61,555 as grants20% of program spendingFamily sponsorship grant fund: our fsp program makes it possible for friends and family to donate towards family's adoption of a particular child. This grant supplements the child's original waiting child grant once a family has made the official commitment for that child. 100% of each donation goes to this fund and is legally still made on behalf of the child. Should a family have to back out or not be approved, any funds received would remain with the child as a grant for the next family. This is a very popular and effective program for adoptive families. Funds are disbursed once the family has been issued a travel date for their adoption, and are available to cover the cost of such things as airfare, agency fees, in-country accommodations/food, facilitation/translation, etc.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $2.0M to $1.5M (−23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
87% of REECE'S RAINBOW INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $79k → $128k.
9 of 37 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of REECE'S RAINBOW INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 37 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
REECE'S RAINBOW INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
91% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund REECE'S RAINBOW INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 51% · 2019 55% · 2020 40% · 2021 30% · 2022 30% · 2023 60% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
29% of REECE'S RAINBOW INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
REECE'S RAINBOW INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Wisconsin, across 17 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $457k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
REECE'S RAINBOW INC holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 13,062 human services nonprofits its size.
