Hundreds of New Photos Online Now

February 5, 2010

As I head off to Nicaragua this Sunday I’ve been thinking about what an amazing privilege it is to get to see Rainbow Network in action in Nicaragua. I am amazed every time I go and I know how rare the opportunity for such travel really is. Not all of us will get to go to Nicaragua.

So, I did a little digging last night and drug up some old photographs of trips, programs, and people past and present.

Hundreds of new photos are now available for you to see – most never before published by Rainbow Network.

Take a look at our online photo album.

Plus for a little extra fun, I created an album of Travelers to Nicaragua over the years.

Take a moment to find a photo from your trip. If you know you’ve been but don’t see a photo of yourself, email us a copy and I’d love to add it to the collection. Include a story with your photo and we just might publish it here.


Matching Gifts make for Smart Giving

February 4, 2010

One of the smartest ways to give to Rainbow Network is to utlize your employer’s matching gift program. A matching gift program is when someone, in this case the company for which you work, matches donations made to Rainbow Network. This doubles your giving power and your impact in Nicaragua!

How to make sure your gifts are matched:

1. Check with your company’s human resources or payroll department to see whether it offers a matching gift program.

2. Ask for donation guidelines and instructions.

3. Decide how much you’d like to give and make a gift to Rainbow Network.

4. Make sure to fill out the appropriate forms from your company to ensure that the gift is matched by a donation from your company.

5. Sit back and know that you are officially a Smart Giver.
