Rise Above Foundation

About this resource

Rise Above is a nonprofit group in Massachusetts that helps kids in foster care have fun and feel good about themselves. Since 2009, they’ve been giving youth chances to do normal activities that bring joy and confidence.

They help pay for things like prom costs, soccer fees, or music lessons—so kids in foster care can enjoy life and have positive experiences.
