The Rising Foundation Trust is a Trust charity in the Education sector, based in Papakura, Papakura. Annual revenue: $1.0M NZD. Financial data as at March 2025.
Mission: The Rising Foundation is driven by the concept of "Unlocking Your Potential". More than a catch phrase, we endeavour to see this become a reality in the lives of every young person we work with. We have seen first-hand how our sustained programme of intervention and support achieves this goal. We partner with families, Intermediate and High Schools to unlock the potential of referred adolescents who display leadership qualities despite coping with challenging personal circumstances. We provide a five to seven year programme packed with insights, values and principles, emotional and moral support, role models and opportunities to practice what they have learned through challenging and creative activities that would otherwise be out of their reach. We ease their transition from Intermediate to High School and the transition from High School to Tertiary Education, Trades or the Workforce.

Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Charities Services Tier 3 reporting allows charities under $2M revenue to file a simple-format annual return rather than audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $2M Tier 2 boundary where audited accounts become mandatory. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — aligned with Charities Services tier boundary; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)
