Fundraising for RizeUp

Thank you for your interest in helping RizeUp Australia and our work to support some of the most vulnerable families in our community whose lives have been devastated by domestic and family violence. As an organisation, RizeUp works in partnership with specialist services to provide practical and sustainable outcomes for families who are at the highest risk of lethality. 

Being an unfunded organisation presents daily challenges that only a committed community of supporters can alleviate, so we appreciate your support more than you know.
