The RWF World Tree of Hope is created each year as a symbol of global unity to promote peace, love and humanitarianism. The tree is created by Rainbow World Fund as a gift from the LGBTQ+ and friends community to the world to inspire hope and to encourage people to think about what they would like for the future of the world, and then take action.

Rainbow World Fund’s (RWF) mission is to promote peace, unity and hope by leading the LGBTQ movement in participating in local and humanitarian relief efforts. Founded in 2000, RWF is the world's first and only all-volunteer, LGBTQ+ based humanitarian aid organization. RWF works to help people affected by natural disasters, hunger, poverty, disease, oppression and war by raising awareness in, and funds from, the LGBTQ+ community to support relief efforts around the world. RWF provides a united voice, a large visible presence both in the United States and abroad, and a proven structure to deliver LGBTQ+ charitable assistance to the larger world community.

RWF currently supports projects focusing on global HIV/AIDS, water development, landmine eradication, hunger, education, orphans, and disaster relief worldwide. RWF is the world’s first LBGTQ+ based humanitarian aid organization. RWF also works to raise awareness of the charitable contributions of the LGBTQ+ community, and to establish connections with non-LGBTQ communities. RWF programs increase LGBTQ+ visibility, serving as a platform for LGBTQ+ compassion and concern. RWF’s philosophy is that we are all “One Human Family” and that we are living in a time that tells us that our survival on this planet depends on us all giving more to each other.

RWF has donated over $6 million in humanitarian aid such as financial grants, food, water, medicine, medical equipment, and art and school supplies. Additionally, RWF as provided over 85,000 hours in volunteer service to people in need.
