Rise & Respond Foundation is a Christ-centered nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of law enforcement officers wounded in the line of duty and offering steadfast support to their families. Rooted in our faith, we strive to reflect Christ’s love through compassionate service, generous outreach, and unwavering presence—ensuring that no officer or family walks their path alone.
Believing that true strength and hope come from God, we extend His grace by providing financial assistance, critical resources, and heartfelt encouragement to those who have bravely served and sacrificed for the safety of others.
Through our scholarship initiative, the Rise & Respond Foundation invests in the next generation of Christian and public service leaders. We offer scholarships to students enrolled in Bible Colleges, Christian Universities, and accredited colleges or universities offering law enforcement degrees or technical certificates. Our goal is to empower these students to grow in faith, character, and purpose—equipping them to serve their communities with wisdom, courage, and integrity.
We are called to rise with compassion and respond with action—honoring the selfless spirit of those who serve by embodying the love of Christ in all we do.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13
Rise & Respond Foundation is a faith-driven nonprofit organization committed to honoring the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers while empowering the next generation of leaders in faith and public service. Our mission bridges two vital efforts: supporting wounded officers and their families, and providing educational opportunities for those pursuing careers in ministry or law enforcement.
Our Mission:
1️⃣ Strengthening and Supporting Wounded Officers & Families
Every day, law enforcement officers stand in harm’s way to protect our communities. When they are wounded in the line of duty, their lives—and the lives of their families—can change in an instant. Rise & Respond stands beside these heroes, offering financial aid, essential resources, and a strong support network to help ease the burdens of recovery and provide hope in difficult times.
2️⃣ Investing in Future Faith-Based and Law Enforcement Leaders
We believe that strong communities are built on servant leadership. That’s why we provide scholarships to students enrolled in Bible Colleges, Christian Universities, and accredited institutions offering law enforcement degrees or technical certificates. Our goal is to support those who feel called to serve—whether in ministry or law enforcement—equipping them to lead with character, compassion, and conviction.
At the heart of Rise & Respond is a commitment to faith, service, and restoration. Guided by Christian principles, we strive to uplift those who have sacrificed and to prepare future leaders to carry the torch of hope, justice, and grace.
With the help of generous donors and community partners, we are building a legacy of support and purpose—ensuring no wounded officer or family walks alone, and every student called to serve has the opportunity to answer.
