Mission Statement
Working to inspire faith communities and families to be safe places for LGBTI people by changing the hearts and minds of individuals around the world.
About This Cause
We are a global movement that confronts religious-based LGBTI discrimination and improve the human and equality rights of LGBTI people everywhere. Decreasing and lessening the effects of religious-based LGBTI discrimination can, and will, make changing punitive laws easier and improve the lives of LBGTI people so they can be who they are, love who they want, and find safe and accepting places to practice their faith (worship). Rainbow Faith and Freedom was founded by Rev. Dr. Brent Hawkes in 2018. he formed and led a steering committee that has drafted the Vision, Mission, 3 key Pillars and Manifesto for Rainbow Faith and Freedom (RFF). RFF is a registered non-for-profit and has engaged a legal firm to obtain charitable status. The committee has worked on the description for 5 teams (Communications and Technology, Strategic Partnerships, Volunteer, Research and Fundraising and Finance). RFF is also working on a funding model and structure of the organization with an anticipated launch date in 2020. RFF is in the process of developing a list of potential partnership organizations and will rely heavily on developing partnership agreements with these organizations.
