Planned giving

What is planned giving?

Planned giving is a way to support On The Rise through a future gift, often made as part of your estate or financial plans. By including On The Rise in a will, retirement account, or other long-term giving plan, you help ensure that people experiencing homelessness will continue to have access to food, clothing, and essential resources for years to come. Planned gifts create stability for our programs and protect the dignity and choice our program participants rely on, making your generosity part of a lasting legacy of care.

HOW DOES IT HELP ON THE RISE?

Plan today. Make lasting change tomorrow.

Planned gifts ensure that On The Rise can continue providing dignity, stability, and choice to people experiencing homelessness for generations to come.
