Overview
Mission
Public Charity
What it reported doing in 2024
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the Rise and Respond Foundation Inc. formally rebranded and began operating under its new name and mission to support wounded first responders, their families, and related charitable causes. The organization successfully obtained recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) from the IRS on June 30, 2025. In preparation for active program delivery, the organization established internal policies, governance structures, and began fundraising efforts to support its mission. A total of $922 in public contributions was raised to support the foundation's initial outreach and development activities. Additionally, the organization developed scholarship guidelines, community support procedures, and plans for upcoming events and assistance programs to launch in the following fiscal year. While no formal program services were disbursed during this initial period, all organizational activity during the year was foundational to launching full-scale charitable operations in fiscal year 2025-2026.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
