About us
R.I.S.E. Northwest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in August 2021, in order to support grieving children in the Inland Northwest.
Resources and services for children who have lost one or both parents are virtually non-existent in our area.
We want to change that.
Our Mission
As a nonprofit organization, we pledge to provide free services through mentoring and peer groups that will allow children to navigate life with resilience and strength after experiencing the death of a parent.
