Organizer

RiSE UP Community Advisory Foundation

The RiSE UP Foundation aims to empower women in rural Nipawin Saskatchewan to rise up and achieve balance in work and life through community connections.

We create a safe space for cultural exchange and learning, for women to find common ground, and build community connections regardless of her status or position.​

The RiSE UP events are FREE, sponsored by the RiSE UP Community Advisory Foundation. Local sponsorship, charitable grants, and Business Consulting are the funding backbone to the Foundation.

Our aim is to ensure access to "great food, equitable opportunities, a sense of belonging, and topics that are proven to help women thrive" no matter her challenge, status, or position.
