A tax-deductible donation to Rise Above Violence supports our efforts to create a community that believes and supports survivors and takes action to end domestic and sexual violence. Making a donation or becoming a monthly sustainer of Rise can be your first step in working with us to create real change. 
BECOME A MEMBER OF THE Snowball club
As a member of the snowball club, you pledge to support the work of Rise by scheduling a recurring donation of $10 that comes to Rise each month because we know that many small donations make BIG change!
Picture

​Metaphorically, a snowball effect is a process
that starts from an initial state of small significance
and builds upon itself, becoming larger.

$10 May not seem like much, but $10 covers the cost of 1 Hotline call; and when you have many small gifts it creates big change. YOU MAY DONATE ANY AMOUNT - it all adds to the snowball effect, BIG or SMALL - we just ask that you consider making it a monthly gift.
$20 a month give us 3 nights of emergency shelter for a family
$50 a month helps provide individual therapy for 1 survivor for 6 months
$100 a month pays for Youth Prevention Programming for an entire grade level (120 + students)

This is an easy, safe, and convenient way to give back. Simply click to “Donate​” and you will be given the option of single or monthly donations.

​Provide a SafeHome for Families in Crisis
Housing is a major step in stabilization. Victims face the same barriers such as rising housing costs and low availability of long-term housing, but their violent situations put them at a great need to find stable housing and safety as soon as possible. 

Rise is looking for owners to house individuals or families for an interim of 1 -3 months. The following accommodations are great options for transitional housing:
- Mother-in-Law Suites
- Basement Studios
- Garage Apartments
- Unlived in Spaces 
- Short-Term Rentals

Click Here for more information or contact our Housing Advocate Kristen Bair at [email protected] or calling 970-264-1129 ext. 7
