About

More than ever, our queer and trans students need a reminder that there are people in their corner and that there is hope. Your support of the Rainy Day Rainbow Fund can show how deeply our community cares for them and supports their dreams.

The Rainy Day Rainbow Fund (RDRF) promotes the personal and academic success of queer and trans students at PCC by providing access to affirming items, services, cultural activities, and emergency grants. Last year we received nearly 40 requests and awarded over $10,000 in support! This fall term alone, we distributed nearly $4,000 toward rental assistance,
winter coats, chest binders, a computer for school, and other essentials. Our funds as they stand cannot sustain this level of need. With your donation, we can support our students along their path to success by removing roadblocks and creating onramps to new possibilities.

Join us in reaching our goal of $2,500 towards the Rainy Day Rainbow Fund (RDRF)!
