Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Rise Action Fund is a California non-profit public benefit corporation formed for social welfare purposes. Rise Action Funds activities include recruiting, organizing, and training student leaders and supporters to become advocates for free college tuition and civic participation. These programs aim to ensure that all students can attend and complete college while meeting their basic needs and without taking out student loan debt.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Building students political power to ensure the cost of higher education never prevents students from pursuing their dreams.

  • Free College Advocacy:Rise's student organizers strengthened the organization's free college advocacy efforts across Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, increasing access to college for thousands of students. To address the student loan debt crisis, Rise helped spread the word with the SAVE on Student Debt campaign, making 15,000+ calls to inform student loan borrowers of better repayment options.

    Expenses $1,223,983

  • Student Civic Participation:Rise launched its civic engagement training program, Rise University, a training program and pathway for college students to embrace their power and lead transformational change on their campuses and in their communities. To build students' political power, Rise organized around the Wisconsin Supreme Court race in April, having over 50,000 conversations and helping over 7,000 young voters make a plan to vote.

    Expenses $979,187

  • Direct Student Support:Rise invested in the Student Navigator Network, a peer-to-peer case management program, and established Student Navigator Networks on college campuses across the country. Rise built partnerships with higher education administrators to develop the trust and support needed to work with Rise to institutionalize this work, ultimately hiring and training Student Navigators to connect peers experiencing basic needs insecurity with local resources and public benefits on their own campuses. By the end of 2023, Rise decided to end the program due to issues of financial sustainability and lack of institutional buy-in.

    Expenses $244,796

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
