Welcome - The Rise Foundation

The Rise Foundation of Illinois is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization designed to provide resourceful, informative services to educate students and their parents on ways to build a brighter future. Our mission is to offer scholarships and leadership training to underserved students of single parent households in efforts to ease the financial transition from high school into an institution of higher learning. We feel that no student should be left behind or turned around due to a lack of funding. Our institution was put in to place to help give those students that would otherwise be overlooked, a chance on an equal playing field with their peers.
