Together Rising transforms collective heartbreak into effective action.In a world where crises abound and heartbreak is in every community, people who want to help often don't know where to turn. Together Rising is where to turn.Whether it's pulling children out of the sea outside the refugee camps in Greece, helping abandoned kids on the streets in Indianapolis, establishing the first opioid recovery home for pregnant teens in New Hampshire, building a maternal health wing in Port-au-Prince, providing a single mother access to breast cancer treatment, or keeping a foster family's heat on in Texas — Together Rising identifies what is breaking the hearts of our givers as they look around their world and their community, and then we connect our givers' generosity with the people and organizations who are effectively addressing that critical need.We live in a world where people believe that We Belong To Each Other.We live in a world where people give away hard-earned money to strangers.We live in a world where Love Wins. And we have proof: Since 2012, Together Rising has raised over Twenty Million Dollars, with a most frequent donation of $25.Most of Together Rising's funds are raised through LOVE FLASH MOBS, time-limited fundraisers that have revolutionized crowd-sourced online giving, with thousands of strangers giving a maximum of $25 to meet a particular need in a matter of hours. Through these Love Flash Mobs, we are proving that small gifts can change the world in revolutionary ways.100% of what Together Rising receives from every personal donation goes directly to an individual, family, or cause in need – not one penny we receive from individual donation goes to administration costs, unless a donor specifically authorizes that use.
