To make a referral of a child or family to the Rainbow Project, please contact the "Referral & Community Program Coordinator" (608) 255-7356, extension 316, during business hours (9:00 am-5:00 pm Monday-Friday).

Rainbow Project staff strive to link people in need with the most appropriate services possible. Rainbow Project also works to provide services to children & families who cannot be served elsewhere. This may mean that a Rainbow Project staff member will refer you to another agency for treatment. Due to the high level of need of many potential clients, Rainbow Project maintains a waiting list. If the length of the wait list becomes contraindicated (given a particular client's immediacy of need for treatment), staff will attempt to refer that child or family to other, more timely accessed services.

Some of the following criteria are used when determining if Rainbow Project is the best match for the needs of a given child or family:

The child or family resides within Dane County

The identified child client is ten years old or younger upon enrollment

The family's progress with previous providers

Depending upon the private insurance company, access to Rainbow Project services will vary. If eligibility is restricted to services in-home or to providers other than Rainbow Project, we will generally refer a given individual or family directly to their insurance provider to help determine where & how to access services.

Rainbow Project serves people in the City of Madison & greater Dane County, Wisconsin area. For more information regarding the population served by Rainbow Project, click on About Rainbow &/or our home page at Home Page.
