Who are our Angels?


We don't talk about our Angels enough. They support all our operational costs, so our fundraising platform can continue to run 100% free of cost for anyone who desires to use it. Being an Angel is a long-term (preferably lifetime) commitment to support the organization as long as it continues to fulfill its mission.

100% of RUF's salaries and operational expenses are covered by the annual donation of our Angels and recurring donors. As RUF grew and changed from a 100% volunteer organization to a mix of volunteering and paid resources, our Angels continued to foot the bill. Learn more about our funding sources and see our finances in the Transparency section. Ask us more about this program or the RUF pledge, or see about our Membership program.
