RIZE

RIZE was created in 2017 with an ambitious mission to end opioid overdose. Guided by those with lived experience and unafraid of new ideas, RIZE invests in community partners who are using novel approaches to prevent overdose and treat addiction, serves as a neutral convenor and network-builder, and funds research that builds the evidence base. Learn how our work has improved the quality of life for people living with substance use disorder.
