Rise and Run Solutions 

Rise and Run Solutions was founded on two principles:

1.  Nonprofits often have a gap that exists between excellent visionary leadership and passionate boots-on-the-ground execution. This gap manifests as a need for interpretation of a vision or goals into actionable plans
2.  The firm belief that flawed systems lead to the necessity for strong, capable and sustainable nonprofits. Many of the services nonprofits provide should be rights, not privileges or luxuries.

Rise and Run creates plans, programs and systems, as well as operational support, so that nonprofits can efficiently and sustainably serve their missions.
