Our Mission

Rise On One Foundation is a public charity built on a simple conviction: no one should have to rise alone. We work alongside families, schools, and local leaders to remove the barriers — cost, distance, isolation — that keep capable people from the futures they are already working toward.

Our work centers on four commitments: youth development, women's empowerment, poverty relief, and community development. In practice that looks like scholarships and mentorship for students, skills training and micro-enterprise support for women, emergency assistance for households in crisis, and neighborhood projects designed with the people who will use them.

Our largest emergency efforts are the Spokane wildfire response — shelter support, meals, supply logistics, debris cleanup, and casework for displaced families — and our ongoing COVID-19 response, delivering food, PPE, and health access to households that were hit hardest. Every program is measured the same way — by whether the people we serve are stronger, safer, and more self-reliant a year later.

Spotlight

Spokane Wildfire Relief

When the Spokane wildfires displaced families and blanketed the region in smoke, Rise On One Foundation mobilized volunteers, supplies, and shelter support. Our response delivered meals, clean water, N95 masks, emergency shelter, and hands-on casework to families navigating the aftermath.

Direct assistance with food, essentials, and emergency needs for households navigating hardship and instability.

Community Development

Local projects — clean water, shared spaces, and infrastructure — designed with neighbors rather than for them.

Spokane wildfire relief and COVID-19 response: shelter support, food, PPE, and direct assistance when crisis hits home.
