RISE FOUNDATION

empowers low-income working Memphians to become self-sufficient through transformative financial literacy programs.

MORE THAN A HANDOUT

Paying for social services treats symptoms for short-term benefits. RISE teaches people to treat themselves for a lifetime and give families the tools to build better lives by their own hands.
