RAINN was founded in 1994 by Scott Berkowitz , the organization's president as of 2003. 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.
