Rainstations Foundation

The Charitable Track of RainStations

RainStations Foundation acts as a Charitable Organisation to support Artists working with Rain. It creates Projects, Events and Exhibitions to support Rain Charities, Causes and Artists.

The Website RAINSTATIONS FOUNDATION, currently under construction, will include more detailed information of each project and how to support them individually in addition to the RainStations Foundation’s work.

The RainStations Foundation Gallery will be composed of donated photographs & artwork from photographers & artists for the purpose of supporting further projects at RainStations Foundation, Rain Charities and in turn the artists. The principle will be that these are featured online for sale and would be curated into specific Rain Exhibitions again for the purposes of raising funds for more projects and supporting artists & photographers in the process. If you are interested in Collaborating in this, please CONTACT us.

If you would like to support the work of RainStations Foundation we would be very grateful for any donations.
Please feel free to DONATE HERE.

Many Rainy Thanks to YOU!
