Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our goal is to create a better, more compassionate world by connecting people to each other. We support the warriors who are struggling in their daily lives -- whether due to a medical diagnosis, job loss, or other crisis -- and we support them by providing financial grants for their most critical needs, and providing the vital connection of being seen and understood. We also find the most compelling organizations supporting those in crisis. Our goal is to find the most effective organizations, ask what they need to continue their work, listen carefully, and determine together how Together Rising can support their work.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Supporting families and individuals through direct grants
Together Rising provides direct grants to families and individuals to address urgent needs. Examples include assistance for rent, utilities, and food for families during the COVID-19 pandemic; car registration fees; breast cancer treatment for a single mom; gas gift cards; and home repairs.
Supporting families and individuals through investment in partner organizations
Together Rising provides grants to partner organizations by fulfilling funding requests and proactively finding, vetting, and funding those boots-on-the-ground organizations best positioned to respond effectively to crises. Examples include providing advocates and legal representation for children separated from their families at the US/Mexico border, support to transitional homes for women recovering from opioid addiction, support to organizations in the Middle East and Europe assisting Syrian refugees, and support to organizations providing aid, relief and recovery after natural disasters.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Together Rising supports families and individuals who need help—whether due to a medical diagnosis, job loss, natural disaster, or other crisis—through grants that address their most critical needs. We grant directly to families and individuals, as well as to partner organizations. We listen directly to families, individuals, and the organizations with boots on the ground for them to tell us what they need. We engage our community to fund those urgent, specific needs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Together Rising connects those who want to help with those who need help. Over the years, we have proven that there is an abundance of people who want to help—but don’t know where to start or which organizations they can trust with their investment. Together Rising is an organization givers can trust. By always being transparent with our donors about the impact their investments make, we have built a community of dedicated supporters who invest in our work on a recurring basis. Our goal is to continue to grow that community, which will allow us to ultimately support even more families and individuals who need help.
