Rainbow Railroad - Expert Impact

Ashton Giese,

Rainbow Railroad

Met with Alex Sloan

Rainbow Railroad help LGBTQI+ people escape state sponsored violence.

We verify each case, learn about the circumstances of the individual facing persecution and determine how we can help.

We determine effective routes to safety, and connect with local contacts who can provide pre-travel and logistical support.

We provide travel to their destination country and immediate, bridging post-travel support on arrival.

Alex has incredible insight in the world of foundation gifts. His structured assistance was invaluable.
