Raising $25K unlocks a $25K match

If we reach our goal of $25,000, a generous donor will match that with a $25,000 gift of their own. This means we can raise $50,000 during this window!

    $25K supplies two semesters of nutritious dinners for every Rise After School student, eliminating a worry for their families.

"I love this school. People come from different places, you get to do new things, and we have the best teachers. If you need something, they're gonna make sure you got it."

Tayona, Class of 2026

"Each of our students possess a unique characteristic that makes up the puzzle of who we are as a school. Every student here wants to thrive and they deserve to get what every other high school student is getting. God favors children and so we should, too.”

Dr. Brittany Lopes, Head of School

"My involvement with Rise started by seeking to donate funds to a local NAP-eligible organization to offset taxes. I believe that God made Rise jump off the page to me because he wanted me to know the work that is being done with this organization. I’ve seen the lives impacted and feel very passionate about the mission and purpose of Rise.”
