Motivated by the belief that freedom is grace in action, We Raise Foundation partners with Christian nonprofit organizations and emerging leaders working at the intersection of poverty, violence, and inequality. 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.

GRANTEE HIGHLIGHT
MAAFA Redemption Project Graduate Discovers God’s Calling for His Life
Ask 31-year-old Quentin Harris where he sees himself in 10 years and he names the program that helped him imagine a future for the first time.
“I see MAAFA, just bigger,” said Harris, who currently serves as a Program Manager and Life Coach with the MAAFA Redemption Project in Chicago. “I think we should start something for younger kids because a lot of us get to a certain age and we’re already messed up.”
“ … And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Micah 6:8
