Rise Above Violence serves the rural community of Archuleta County, Colorado, providing crisis intervention, advocacy, and education to individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. With the help of grants, donations, fundraising efforts and volunteers, Rise Above Violence provides immediate crisis intervention, 24 hours a day, by an advocate trained to listen and provide support. The organization helps nearly 400 survivors each year.
As a small nonprofit with a big mission, Rise Above Violence needed a fundraising solution that could do more—more flexibility, more customization, and more support for the variety of events and campaigns they run throughout the year. From Art Above Violence to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, they wanted a platform that could match their creativity and engage their rural community.
With limited staff and resources, having a platform that took care of the fundraising infrastructure made a meaningful difference. Rise Above Violence could create campaigns that reflected their mission, activate community support, and generate real financial impact—without stretching their team thin.
Ashley includes multiple giving options on her donation and campaign pages, including Donor Covers the Fee, which 50% of donors opt for.
In 2019, Rise Above Violence created a monthly giving campaign. For just $10/month, donors can cover the price of a crisis call. The campaign ensures a support crisis worker is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 25% of the monthly donors later increased their donation by 5–10x!
Ashley and her team continue to create unique fundraising events, including an annual push-up challenge and art show. FrontStream is proud to help Rise Above Violence simplify fundraising and engage donors.
