About us
Welcome to Rise Calgary, where everyone moves forward. We’re ending poverty by increasing social and economic mobility. Together with our clients, we fight scarcity and strategize on building new strengths for a better quality of life. Our stabilization services help people meet their basic monthly safety needs like food, technology, utilities, and shelter. Our empowerment programs partner with people living on low incomes to build new capacities in financial and social wellness. We’re obsessed with behavioural economics, solution-focused coaching, and extreme compassion. We're committed to moving people permanently out of poverty. We know this job is not simple and we know we don't have all the answers. Connect with us and let’s work to figure it out together.

At Rise, we believe living in poverty is a full-time job. That's why we pay people to participate through our Moblity Coaching program, mainly through grocery gift cards. This Giving Tuesday, we'd love gift cards to support our coaching approach to moving Calgarians out of poverty. Feel free to drop them off to our team at any of our four locations or donate online: RiseCalgary.ca/donate Coachees earn $15 per coaching session and also earn rewards as they reach their goals. Goals are often focused on growing financial health, like making my monthly budget balance without using credit cards, or making steps towards re-training and education.
