RAINN was founded in 1994 by Scott Berkowitz, the organization's president. RAINN has attracted the attention of many celebrities, notably singer Tori Amos, who contributed a portion of the initial funding. She has remained their most avid spokesperson and a great deal of the attention brought to the organization comes from her fanbase. Some of the funding to RAINN comes from the "Happy Birthday, Tori" parties; a series of fundraising events held throughout the world on (or around) the date of Amos' birthday.
