Donate!

We would love for you to become part of our amazing program!

Donations cover the costs of text and reference books, videos, computers, office supplies, and postage. Since we are staffed only by volunteers, our program is very cost effective. $300 provides one student a year of college-level education. It costs $600 per student to open a new branch at another correctional facility.

Donate online, or mail your checks payable to “Rising Hope, Inc.” to:

Your contributions are tax-deductible. Rising Hope, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.

TEACH

We are always searching for qualified volunteer teachers.  A Master’s degree is required, and we have several teachers with doctorates.  If you have a Bachelor’s degree and would like to serve as a teaching assistant, we would like to hear from you.
