Rise is a national organization dedicated to empowering people with mental health and addiction challenges to achieve greater social and economic inclusion through entrepreneurship. Through training, mentorship, micro-financing and other custom supports, Rise helps individuals build the skills and access the capital they need to launch a small business that can improve their quality of life and enable them to support themselves, their families, and their communities.

2022 saw GROW’s first contribution to Rise with funds provided to assist with the hiring of a business advisor for the Women’s Entrepreneurship Training Program. The program is designed to serve marginalized, under-supported women entrepreneurs of all ages. (National)
