Motivated by the belief that freedom is grace in action, We Raise Foundation partners with Christian nonprofit organizations to fund innovative ideas and leaders that help individuals and communities thrive. We employ a unique approach to our investing by coupling program funding with a variety of robust value-added services that empower our grantees to grow their solutions to tackle social problems on the scale at which they exist. Our three priority granting areas are:

education, workforce development, and reentry programs.
