Rise is seeking a new Executive Director to lead the organization into its next era of growth and success. The Executive Director is the key management leader of Rise and its affiliates and is responsible for overseeing the administration, programs and strategic plan of the organization.
Rise acts as a resource and partner to the community. We bring together non-profit organizations, financial institutions and government that make successful neighborhood revitalization possible.
Rise CDFI is launching at a time where the need for flexible, responsive capital in the St. Louis area has never been greater. Rise CDFI supports Rise’s existing work in some of the region’s most disinvested communities where appraisal gaps prevent traditional lenders from doing business, and a lack of coordinated community-driven plans and investment strategies have perpetuated inefficient and insufficient development. Small and minority-owned contractors also struggle to access flexible, responsive capital to grow their businesses and compete for jobs. Rise CDFI seeks to bring new capital to the table to help bridge the racial wealth gap while strengthening our communities.
Rise provides affordable housing for the hard-working residents of the St. Louis region who make 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI).
We firmly believe that everyone deserves clean, safe and affordable housing. That’s why Rise has provided over 5,000 homes for area residents.
These residents are people from all walks of life. They are teachers, police officers, EMTs, bank tellers, healthcare workers, and others who make up the backbone of our community. They are our friends and neighbors. They should not have to sacrifice when it comes to providing safe homes for their families.
