Rise United Network Inc (c4)
Organization Description
Rise United is powering the creator generation to lead our civics. Through a pipeline of programs that identify, engage and empower digital creators (focused on micro-creators leading communities with 10K-100K followers; especially BIPOC/POC and others disengaged in civics) Rise United is powering a creator-led movement to take back our narratives and drive under 40 year old youth to civic life.

This sets the stage to scale our programs across 6-8 states in 2026 and continue building a creator-led civic movement in 2027 and 2028.
