Why Support Rise?

When you donate to Rise, you give a child with developmental disabilities the foundation they need for a successful, independent life. At the same time, typically developing peers gain empathy and leadership skills from an early age. Every dollar invested in our students’ education pays lifelong dividends—helping them become more independent, engaged members of society.

The Cost & The Need

• $24,000 – The actual cost to educate a child in Rise Dallas’ specialized program each year.

• $16,000 – Tuition for 2024-25 (about $1,300/month).

• 66% – The percentage of families receiving tuition assistance (scholarships range from 20%-80%).

• $1 million+ – The amount Rise must raise annually to bridge the tuition gap.

Rise is entirely funded by private donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations—we receive no government support.
