Who We Are

Rainy is a nonprofit project that helps donors send money directly to low-income workers with little to no savings. Our mission is to transform lives and give people financial security, hope, and long-term economic resilience.

Direct cash transfers are a powerful tool to fight poverty.

Giving cash recognizes low income workers are capable of managing their own lives and empowers them with the dignity to make their own choices.

Cash has the largest and deepest evidence base of all anti-poverty programs (with over 1,000 studies on cash as a whole). Research confirms that direct cash transfers given to people in financial distress improves multiple dimensions of people’s lives.

Our cash giving program, focused on saving, investing, and asset accumulation, is a first of it’s kind.

Founder

Bryan Greenwood developed an interest in poverty and community service when he was a young missionary in South America. In 2020, he founded Sunday, a nonprofit organization helping small businesses in Africa and other low income communities with safe, affordable, zero-interest microloans void of usury. His work at Sunday inspired him to start Rainy.
