Rise and Respond foundation
Jesus is our message
At the heart of the Rise & Respond Foundation is a deep and unwavering commitment to the message and mission of Jesus Christ. Every initiative we undertake—from supporting wounded law enforcement officers and their families to equipping future leaders in ministry and public service—is firmly rooted in His example of love, compassion, and servant leadership.
Christ is our foundation, our strength, and our guiding purpose. We seek to reflect His character in every relationship we build, every resource we provide, and every scholarship we award. Through intentional acts of generosity and encouragement, we strive to embody His teachings and extend His grace to those who have sacrificed and to those preparing to serve.
Our vision is to make a lasting, transformative impact by sharing the hope, healing, and redemptive love of Christ—one life, one family, and one community at a time.
People are our heart
At the core of the Rise & Respond Foundation is a deep and authentic love for people. Guided by our vision to honor service and uplift others through the example of Christ, we are dedicated to standing with those who have made personal sacrifices to protect their communities and to investing in students who are called to lead with faith and serve with integrity.
Whether it's a wounded law enforcement officer, a grieving family, a student pursuing ministry, or someone aspiring to become a peace officer, we believe that every individual is created with purpose and deserves to be seen, supported, and valued. Through compassionate outreach, meaningful assistance, and Christ-centered encouragement, we aim to reflect His heart in every action we take—because people are the reason we serve.
Generosity is our privilege
At the Rise & Respond Foundation, we believe that generosity is more than an action—it is a sacred privilege. Grounded in our commitment to honor sacrifice and empower lives through Christ, we give joyfully and intentionally, offering our time, resources, and support to those in need.
Whether it’s extending aid to wounded law enforcement officers and their families, awarding scholarships to faith-driven students, or supporting individuals pursuing a career in law enforcement, we are humbled by the opportunity to serve with open hands and compassionate hearts. Motivated by the boundless generosity of Jesus Christ, we view giving as a powerful expression of love—one that brings hope, healing, and lasting impact to the lives we touch.
Honor is our calling
At the Rise & Respond Foundation, we are called to honor those who selflessly serve and sacrifice for the safety and well-being of others. Guided by our vision and anchored in our faith, we stand beside wounded law enforcement officers and their families, recognizing their courage and resilience by offering meaningful support during their time of need.
To honor is to remember, to serve, and to uplift—and we are committed to doing so with compassion, integrity, and a deep sense of purpose. Through every act of care and every life we touch, we strive to reflect the love of Christ and carry forward a legacy of courageous service and unwavering faith.
OUR VISION
The Rise & Respond Foundation exists to honor wounded law enforcement officers and their families through practical support, essential resources, and compassionate care. At the same time, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through scholarship opportunities—supporting both faith-driven students enrolled in accredited Christian Bible Colleges and Universities, and individuals pursuing law enforcement degrees or technical certificates at accredited and committee-approved institutions.
Guided by the principles of faith, service, and compassion, we stand with those who have sacrificed for the safety of others and invest in future leaders who are committed to making a meaningful and lasting impact within their communities and beyond.
Personal support
At the Rise & Respond Foundation, personal support is at the core of everything we do. We believe that those who sacrifice for the safety and well-being of others—especially wounded law enforcement officers and their families—deserve more than acknowledgment; they deserve genuine compassion, care, and meaningful assistance.
In that same spirit, we are devoted to walking alongside students enrolled in Christian Bible Colleges and Universities, as well as those pursuing careers in law enforcement through accredited degree or technical certificate programs. Through scholarships and ongoing encouragement, we empower them to pursue their God-given calling to serve, protect, and lead with integrity.
Driven by a vision rooted in faith, service, and resilience, we provide vital resources, financial support, and a Christ-centered community that fosters healing, growth, and purpose in every life we are privileged to serve.
No matter where you are
At the Rise & Respond Foundation, our commitment to serve extends beyond boundaries. Whether you are a wounded law enforcement officer seeking support, a family navigating a season of hardship, a student answering the call to ministry through a Christian Bible College or University, or an individual aspiring to a career in law enforcement, we are here for you—wherever you are on your journey.
Rooted in a vision grounded in faith, service, and resilience, we are dedicated to meeting people in their time of need—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through Christ-centered care, we provide hope, vital resources, and encouragement, ensuring that no one faces life’s challenges alone.
