Criminal Justice. By promoting equality for those impacted by the criminal justice system, we perpetuate a cycle of hope. Half of American ex-offenders end up going back to jail within three years. We’re making sure that changes.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRANTS

We believe inmates and ex-offenders offered support and training upon re-entry 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.
