RISE

Reno Initiative for Shelter & Equality

RISE (Reno Initiative for Shelter & Equality) is an extraordinary organization dedicated to serving the most vulnerable members of our community through compassionate, comprehensive support services. Operating multiple programs throughout the Reno-Sparks area, RISE provides emergency shelter, supportive housing, and community outreach to women, families, seniors, and children experiencing homelessness or crisis situations. Their trauma-informed, person-first, and housing-first approach prioritizes dignity, safety, and individualized support for every person they serve.

RISE operates three major programs that address critical community needs. Our Place is a low-barrier emergency shelter on a 20-acre campus in Sparks, providing shelter for up to 138 women, 38 families, and 20 senior women with pet-friendly accommodations and wraparound services. Women and Children’s Crossroads offers structured supportive housing for mothers with children recovering from substance abuse, mental health challenges, or homelessness, with intensive case management and counseling. Their Community Outreach program takes essential supplies, resources, and compassion directly to the streets through mobile units, meeting individuals where they are. Beyond these core programs, RISE continuously develops new initiatives to address evolving community needs, demonstrating their commitment to being a responsive, growing force for positive change in Northern Nevada.

When RISE approached us about building a new website, we knew immediately this would be one of our most meaningful projects. This incredible organization was doing life-changing work throughout our community, but they needed a digital platform that could effectively communicate their services, provide critical resources and information to those in need, and support their growing operations across multiple programs.

The challenge was multifaceted. RISE needed a website that would serve multiple audiences simultaneously: community members seeking help, potential donors and volunteers wanting to get involved, partner organizations looking to collaborate, and the general public who needed to understand the breadth of services RISE provides. The site needed to clearly present three distinct major programs while remaining flexible enough to accommodate new programs as RISE continued expanding their impact.

Beyond just presenting information, RISE needed functional tools to operate more efficiently. They required custom interfaces for managing different programs, donation capabilities to make giving easy and accessible, announcement systems to communicate with the public quickly, and content management tools that would allow their staff to maintain and update the site without technical expertise. We were genuinely excited to dive into this project, knowing that the platform we built would directly support RISE’s mission of serving our most vulnerable neighbors with dignity and compassion.

The Results

How we helped this client come up

We developed a comprehensive website that beautifully organizes RISE’s extensive programs and services into an accessible, easy-to-navigate platform. The site architecture clearly presents each major program with dedicated sections while maintaining the flexibility to add new initiatives as the organization grows and evolves.

The custom program management interfaces we built allow RISE staff to efficiently manage and update information about each program without technical knowledge. These tools give them complete control over their content, ensuring information stays current as programs evolve. We integrated comprehensive donation capabilities throughout the site, making it simple and secure for community members to support RISE’s work financially with various giving options.

We also built a powerful announcement tool that allows RISE to quickly communicate important information to the public, whether it’s emergency alerts, new services, volunteer opportunities, or community updates. The system ensures critical messages reach the community when needed most.

The result is a beautifully organized online presence that serves as both an information hub for those seeking help and an operational platform that helps RISE work more efficiently. Working with RISE has been one of our most rewarding experiences. Knowing that the platform we built helps connect vulnerable community members with critical services and support makes this project incredibly special.
