Make an
impact today

We help working families who are facing a crisis they can’t afford to fix on their own. Most of the time, it’s a repair or expense that’s small enough to change everything but big enough to knock them off their feet.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

You can submit a nomination through our online form. Just share the situation, the need, and how support could make a difference. We review each nomination carefully so families facing hardship don’t fall through the cracks.

Yes The Rise Up Foundation Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3), which means all eligible donations are tax-deductible.

Support comes in many forms like materials, gift cards, volunteer hours, or even gently used items that help a family get back on stable ground. Every contribution creates a ripple effect, and we make sure it goes exactly where it’s needed.

We review every nomination based on urgency, safety, and impact. Some situations need immediate help, and some projects create long term stability. We prioritize families where support will make the biggest, most lasting difference.

Right now we focus on our community first, the greater Chicagoland suburbs we live and work in. Keeping donations close to home makes the impact immediate and real. As support grows, we’ll expand our reach.
