Mission & History
Mission Statement – “RISE, Incorporated is a non-profit benefit corporation
serving the rural community to enhance the quality of life and opportunity for
self-sufficiency…”
 History in Yolo County – RISE, Inc. organized as a public benefit non-profit
[501.c.3] corporation in March 1987. Since its inception, RISE Inc. has been
endorsed by the community as the social service delivery entity in rural
western Yolo County. The organization’s specialty is rural program design
and delivery; its strength is engaging the working poor in active selfdetermination and motivated self-sufficiency. The Esparto-Capay Valley and
Winters Region encourages all human and social services to be clustered
under the RISE Community Service Center umbrella. This incubation of
services and programs has increased efficiency and is cost-effective.
 RISE has a strong record of financial stability, budget management, and
administrative capability. RISE has a local Board of Directors, employs
program-specific staff, completes annual audits, and has numerous
contractual and grant-funded programs to benefit local residents and
community development ventures in the Esparto-Capay Valley and Winters
Region of Western Yolo County.
