Overview

Mission

To empower women and families through leadership development, career advancement, and community support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Women on the Rise is a 501c3 non profit organization formed with the purpose of providing educational empowerment events for women, with a focus on women's health, wellness, and empowerment. Featured Speakers at each event discuss real time issues affecting women within our community, and share how they have overcome obstacles within their personal lives and/or careers to inspire other women to Lean In, and do the same. These events provide an opportunity for like-minded women to gather, network, and inspire one another. Additionally, the organization mentors high school and college aged women on self-esteem, empowerment, and professional development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
