Last year, you helped us meet an unprecedented moment. Together, our community awarded 20 Featured Grants — more than ever before — at exactly the moment when women and girls needed us most. Because of you, more than 140,000 women and girls have a path forward.
But the need is still great. More than 800 organizations applied for our 2026 grants — more than 200 more than last year’s record. But this year, we’re not just asking you to respond to a crisis. We’re asking you to sustain what you started — to ensure that the impact you made in 2025 ripples forward for generations.
In a world where so much feels uncertain and out of our control, this is something tangible that you can do – something that will genuinely matter. Rise doesn’t receive government funding or grants. Our impact is solely dependent on your support. When you give to Rise, you are not just donating you are shaping the future of women and girls around the world.
