The Rimini Street Foundation: 10 Years of Giving and Growing
Founded in 2015 and governed by employees representing the diverse culture of Rimini Street, the corporate foundation celebrates its milestone year, entering ten years of financial giving, in-kind donations and team volunteer events, funded 100% by the company.
“The Rimini Street Foundation is a cornerstone of who we are as a company, reflecting our commitment to create equal opportunity for all,” said founder and committee chair of the Rimini Street Foundation, Janet Ravin. “Throughout the years, we’ve connected with so many wonderful organizations and new community friends, sharing hearts and building memories together in our combined efforts toward societal progress.”
In 2022, the Foundation launched the first RMNI LOVE Grant Program in its hometown of Las Vegas. Honoring the company’s “Follow-the-Sun” model of client support, which ensures client cases are attended to by dedicated engineers until resolved, the program then moved to Tokyo (2023) and London (2024).
Highlights of the 2022 Las Vegas ceremonies can be found here, the 2023 Tokyo event here and the 2024 London event here.
Celebrating a Milestone Year with a $100,000 RMNI LOVE Grant Giveaway
Now in its 10th year, the Rimini Street Foundation is announcing a special $100,000 grant giveaway, awarding ten charities with a $10,000 grant each. Government-certified charities in the following cities are invited to apply via the Rimini Street RMNI LOVE website:
- Denver, USA
- Houston, USA
- Kyoto, Japan
- Manila, Philippines
- Melbourne, Australia
- Paris, France
- São Paulo, Brazil
- Seoul, Korea
- Taipei, Taiwan

“Selecting just ten cities out the many is difficult enough, even tougher when we have to choose from the vast number of organizations that apply for the grants each year. Each charity is so deserving, and their passion for good makes it a real challenge for our Global Steering Committee when reviewing RMNI LOVE Grant submissions,” said Emily Garczynski, core committee member of the Rimini Street Foundation.
The program will accept nominations starting February 10, 2025, and will close submissions on March 9, 2025. Additional details and requirements can be found on the RMNI LOVE site, along with sections where charities can share their stories and impact on the community.
“One of the best parts of the RMNI LOVE Grant Program is learning about the selfless, determined superheroes who are making a difference each and every day,” said Ravin. “We see you, we hear you and we appreciate you. Thank you from the depths of our RMNI hearts!”
