Empowering People. Launching Ideas.
Rise is a national organization dedicated to empowering people with mental health and addiction challenges to achieve greater social and economic inclusion through entrepreneurship. Through training, mentorship, micro-financing and other customs supports, Rise helps individuals build the skills and access the capital they need to launch a small business that can improve quality of life and enable them to support themselves, their families and communities.
Since its founding in 2010, Rise has disbursed over $3 million in low-interest loans and, with the support of 800+ volunteers nationwide, has helped to empower more than 2,000 Canadians from coast to coast as entrepreneurs.
The impact is undeniable.
4 out of 5 Rise clients are still in business after receiving a Rise loan, showcasing their resilience as entrepreneurs. However, client success extends beyond traditional business metrics. Entrepreneurship is a vehicle for individuals to take control of their lives, boost their confidence, and redefine success.
