Rise2 Foundation

Safe, short-term accommodation for families impacted by domestic violence.

Each year RISE 2 will provide safe, secure homes for up to 20 families and 50 children impacted by domestic violence.

About Rise2 Foundation

RISE 2 is a different and innovative service within the existing DFV (Domestic Family Violence) emergency accommodation services in the Sunshine Coast region. The 8 new dwellings will provide safe, secure, homes with ongoing counselling and support.

After receiving initial funding to begin RISE 2 we now need to raise an extra $450,000 in capital to complete the project.  $120,000 is also required for ongoing support and counselling of families and children.

Rise – A Brief History

RISE started as a concept and fundraising initiative from women in the Zonta Club of Caloundra in 2011.
The intention was to provide more accommodation, support and a pathway to a new life for women and children impacted by Domestic and Family Violence across the Sunshine Coast region.
In 2014 a promised gift of future land from a local philanthropist ensured that the vision of RISE started to become a reality. This was subsequently matched by local fund raising. Coast2Bay Housing Group and The Salvation Army were engaged to help deliver the Zonta Club’s vision and, in 2017, the first RISE dwellings opened.
