ABOUT TOGETHER RISING
Founded in 2012 by Glennon Doyle, Together Rising exists to transform our collective heartbreak into effective action. Whether it’s pulling children out of the sea outside the refugee camps in Greece, providing a single mother access to breast cancer treatment, or reuniting families separated at the U.S. border—Together Rising identifies what is breaking the hearts of givers and then connects givers’ generosity with the people and organizations who are effectively addressing each critical need.
Together Rising has raised over $20 million for people in need with a most frequent donation of $25, proving that small gifts can change the world in revolutionary ways.
Because a few devoted benefactors directly cover all administrative costs, 100 percent of what Together Rising receives from every personal donation goes directly to an individual, family, or crisis. Please consider joining Together Rising’s Team Love with a monthly tax-deductible donation of $5, $10, or $25. These donations enable Together Rising to act quickly to deploy life-saving funds in times of crisis.
