How Does Under Our Rainbow Help?
Under Our Rainbow (UOR) helps lessen the effective outcome of child abuse in three ways.
UOR funds start-up Children's Advocacy Centers with restricted grants
- The cash flow generated into UOR by donations, purchases of products at UOR Shoppes™ and member dues in COAMAC Village™ allows some funds to be distributed through a grant process to qualifying 501 (c)(3) organizations trying to establish first time advocacy centers in counties that don't yet have the advocacy center model to support child abuse victims. There are approximately 3,150 counties in the United States and only approximately 750 advocacy center locations, leaving 76% of all US counties lacking advocacy centers.
UOR offers resources, hope and a path to healing for over 55 million adults abused as children through the operation of COAMAC Village™
- COAMAC Village™ is a web based source of resources available to survivors of childhood abuse, regardless of age or present circumstances, where adults molested as children (AMACs) can anonymously share information, ask questions, read inspirational stories from other survivors, read books and articles, study therapeutic self-help modules, and generally realize, maybe for the first time in their lives, that they are NOT ALONE, but a member of the largest demographic group in the United States.
Under Our Rainbow Shoppes…."where every purchase protects a child"™ is a program of retail sales that funds all of the UOR programs
- By dedicating 100% of the margin of all product and services sales at UOR Shoppes to funding programs like COAMAC Village™ and start-up advocacy center grants, Under Our Rainbow hopes to be self sustaining and perpetual in its ability to make a difference in the world of child abuse.
