R I S E Resources for Indispensable Schools and Educators

At RISE, we believe in our hearts that America's freedom and prosperity depends largely on the quality of our public schools. We also believe that schools are only as effective as the educators in them.

Please take 3 minutes to help take RISE to the next level and make your tax-deductible gift online with a credit card or send a check to the address below.

Here we highlight four reasons why RISE is worthy of your support:

RISE’s Mission: Teachers are the key to student learning, yet 70% in low-income communities are leaving the profession. Our mission to retain effective K-12 public school teachers to elevate student performance in low-income communities is crucial to improving public education
RISE's Results: RISE now helps more than 60 Partner Schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Chicago attract and retain effective teachers. Over 90% of these schools now use RISE Working Conditions data for school improvement planning. More than 50 quality teachers—those statistically expected to leave low-income teaching—accepted positions at these schools for the 2007-2008 school year, providing a 20% increase in earned income from last year.
RISE's Growth: In 2008 we will double the number of RISE Partner Schools to 120 and begin laying the groundwork for RISE New York and RISE Houston. With your help, by the year 2015 RISE will serve 20% of low-income public schools in the country's largest 20 metropolitan areas, becoming financially self-sustaining with a staff of less than 100, improving teaching and learning for more than 1,000,000 students.
RISE's Need: More than 60% or our philanthropic support comes from private individuals. Your support—at any level—can and will make a difference.

Thanks for believing in RISE, and thanks in advance for helping us retain the most effective teachers in the communities where they are needed most.

Kindest Regards,
