Together Rising was founded in 2012 by Glennon Doyle. After twelve beautiful years of turning heartbreak into action — providing $55,118,582.16 of support to families and individuals in crisis, and to boots-on-the-ground organizations doing life-saving work – Together Rising sunsetted as an organization in 2024.

Together Rising was a bridge between those of you who needed to support people in crisis, and those of you who needed that support. Because of your partnership – your love, trust, and generosity – with Together Rising over the years, we’ve supported 11,713 people who had nowhere else to turn. Together, we’ve listened to those people, respected them, trusted them, and provided what they told us they needed – we’ve kept the lights on, paid the utility bills, kept food on the table, covered the rent, provided the tuition, bought the vehicle, prevented the eviction, paid for the winter coat, covered the medical bills, and on and on.  

Together Rising was also a bridge between you and the most trusted boots-on-the-ground organizations leading through some of the most vital work of our lifetime. Together, we have provided critical funding to 298 of the most effective, embedded organizations – providing food for refugees across the world, urgent relief after earthquakes and wildfires, shelter for queer unhoused youth, reunification for families torn apart at the border, wraparound support for teen parents in addiction recovery, educational infrastructure for Indigenous youth, psychological intervention for returning Veterans, evacuation services out of war zones, an equal-access Black-centered birth center to reduce Black maternal mortality, expansion of services for survivors of interpersonal and sexual violence, and on and on.

We will be forever grateful for how you have shown up for us, and for the way we were able to show up for the world, together.  The sunsetting of Together Rising does not mean the end of heartbreak or the end of action – we will all keep showing up in new and different ways to heal our hearts and the world.  

The stories of the work we have done together will remain on this site so that you might walk across that bridge and offer some of your time, attention, investment, and love directly to the trusted organizations we have served alongside – and so that you may continue the Together Rising legacy of love, fury, and relentless hope.
