about

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.

Mission 

Rise empowers Canadians with mental health and addiction challenges to achieve greater economic and social inclusion through entrepreneurship training, small business loans and custom supports.

Vision

Strengthening communities by unleashing the entrepreneurial sprit of all Canadians with mental health challenges.
