THE PURPOSE
Our programs aim to increase a family’s household income, social capital, and community engagement while decreasing isolation.
THE JOURNEY
Change doesn’t happen overnight. The transformation in personal lives can be seen in the dramatic transformation of the community as a whole.
THE SUPPORT
It’s hard to go it alone. The Drew Lewis Foundation fosters support through the community by encouraging members to build their own social capital.
PROVEN SUCCESS
Our programs have proven successful with the community’s ever-increasing resilience.
Over the years, we have distilled our knowledge and experience so that we may share it with our community. We offer our hands-on guidance as you begin the transformative change in your community.
Our Achievements
Our goal is to transform lives from surviving to thriving. This is best achieved through a holistic approach.
Meet Our Members
Don’t take our word for it — here’s what our members say:
Being part of this organization has given me true HOPE in spite of the daily ups and downs that come my way. I want my community to know that the most important thing is that I have gone from SURVIVING to THRIVING.
Daisy
RISE member
Being involved in this program helped me to just focus on what I have inside of me and to bring it out, and to use it in my life and apply it to my family.
The Northwest Project [now called RISE] means community, family, and
they have my back.
Danielle
RISE member/facilitator
It has helped me to create a budget and set goals to both cut spending and start a savings account. This and other financial training has helped me become more accountable with my finances as well as the Drew Lewis Foundation team keeping me that way.
