Welcome to The RiiiSE Foundation

Founded in 2021 in the vibrant heart of Kansas City, MO, we are a nonprofit organization steadfast in our commitment to empowering communities. Through our job readiness and placement programs, we equip individuals with the skills and opportunities needed to thrive in the workforce. Additionally, we offer specialized transportation services tailored to meet the unique needs of teens, elderly, and minimally disabled individuals, ensuring their mobility and independence. We also enhance the lives of families in need by providing a range of support services promoting independence and inclusivity, and fostering empowerment and community belonging. 

Our Three Pillars: Intentions, Integrity, Inspiration

At The RiiiSE Foundation, our name embodies the core values we stand by, symbolized by the three I’s: Intentions, Integrity, and Inspiration. These principles are not only foundational to our mission but also reflect the strength and unity found within family dynamics—a source of resilience—whether in traditional or diverse family structures.

INTENTIONS: Our purposeful and deliberate actions drive our mission forward. We're committed to creating programs and initiatives that are thoughtfully designed to empower and uplift our community. Every decision is guided by a clear intention to foster positive change and provide meaningful support to those in need.

INTEGRITY: We uphold high standards of honesty, transparency, and ethical behavior in all our endeavors. Integrity is the cornerstone of our organization, ensuring we remain trustworthy and reliable. By staying true to our values, we build strong, lasting relationships with the individuals and communities we serve. 

INSPIRATION: We aim to inspire and be inspired. Through our programs, we ignite hope and possibility in those we assist, encouraging them to live their best lives. We draw inspiration from the resilience and determination of the people we serve, fueling our efforts to create a brighter future for all. 

Together, these pillars form the bedrock of The RiiiSE Foundation, guiding us as we work tirelessly to support and strengthen the fabric of our community. It's our mission to rise above challenges and establish lasting, positive impact through Intentions, Integrity, and Inspiration!
