Criminal Justice. By promoting equality for those impacted by the criminal justice system, we perpetuate a cycle of hope. Half of formerly-incarcerated Americans end up going back to jail within three years. We’re making sure that changes.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRANTS
We believe by offering formerly incarcerated individuals support and training upon reentry they will more likely become integrated, contributing members of society.
We Raise Foundation invests in programs that reduce rates of recidivism, provide education opportunities and healing to those serving prison sentences, and connect individuals to resources that will help them thrive once they’re released back into society.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRANTS
We believe effective justice requires consequences for those who break the law, but often this results in a lifelong impact, ensuring the same behaviors. We support programs that interrupt this cycle and give hope for a brighter future.
