About Us
Why Your Support Matters
At The R.A.R.E. Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve economic prosperity, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our mission is to empower underserved communities that face significant financial struggles with few resources and limited access to education. Without intervention, many of these individuals will find it nearly impossible to break the cycle of poverty and build a better future for themselves and their families.

Our Legacy: Financial Recovery and Community Strength
The R.A.R.E. Foundation was born out of a deep desire to create a nation where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to achieve financial prosperity. Founded in January 2016 by a small group of passionate New York residents, our vision was simple yet profound: to ensure that all segments of our community are provided with the tools and resources they need to thrive.
From the very beginning, we knew that financial education was key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting change. Our founders recognized the urgent need for Credit Literacy & Recovery, Entrepreneur Services, and Job Preparation in underserved communities. With a clear mission and unwavering commitment, The R.A.R.E. Foundation set out to make a difference.
Making an Impact
In just a few short years, our efforts have touched the lives of hundreds of individuals. We've provided expert credit education, helping people understand, manage, and rebuild their credit. We've supported aspiring entrepreneurs, giving them the knowledge and resources they need to start and grow their businesses. And we've helped countless individuals prepare for the job market, equipping them with the skills and confidence to succeed.
Our impact has been particularly felt among veterans and the formerly incarcerated—two groups that often face significant barriers to financial stability. Veterans have been served with the respect and support they deserve, ensuring they can access the benefits and opportunities they've earned. The formerly incarcerated have been given a second chance at life, with access to the tools and education they need for full recovery and reintegration into society.
