PIONEER HELPING OTHERS

n The Rise is honored to be one of Pioneer Investments’ major grantees with an amazing gift of $25,000 made in March, 2007. This gift deepens On The Rise's capacity to serve 300 of the most disenfranchised women and families in our community. Acting on their vision to nurture the potential of those who are less advantaged, Pioneer has tirelessly supported the work of On The Rise through contributions of time, money and talent.

Pioneer associates are known to support our community in personal and meaningful ways, both individually and collectively. Since 2000, On The Rise's partnership with Pioneer grew from the individual support of their associates and through Pioneer’s generous matching gifts program. In 2003, Pioneer became a top sponsor of On The Rise's annual event. They have also sent teams of volunteers who roll up their sleeves to help On The Rise with technology, house maintenance and other projects that help sustain the organization, while sending a positive message of caring to women in the program.
