Our Board of Directors

Founded in 2016 by Shane and Farrell Foley following the birth of their sons, Connor and Quinn, Rainy Day Pennies began with a simple shift in perspective. They wanted to teach their boys that saving for a rainy day isn't enough—true fulfillment comes from giving.

Even a single penny can spark a big change in the life of a less fortunate child. Rainy Day Pennies is designed as a lifelong vehicle for Connor, Quinn, and their peers to grow into. While they are young now, they will soon lead our Board of Directors, bringing their unique vision to how we serve others. We focus on small, intentional gestures that bring immediate warmth: warm coats for homeless youth in LA, iPads and mobile devices for children's hospital wings, or registration fees so a child can join a sports team. We aren’t trying to save the world all at once; we are just showing that rubbing a few pennies together can bring a ray of sunlight to a child’s rainy day.

Our Mission
To empower children to uplift their peers by actively participating in philanthropy that supports underserved youth across the United States.

Children have no control over the circumstances of their birth. In our own backyards, kids are born daily into poverty, illness, and systemic challenges. Rainy Day Pennies is a 501(c)(3) charity built on a simple value proposition: saving is good, but giving is better. We provide a platform for fortunate youth to realize their lives are a blessing, motivating them to stand up, take notice, and actively drive change for kids who need it most.

We are not trying to save the world, we are just trying to show that rubbing a few pennies together can bring a ray of sunlight to a child’s rainy day.
