Twin Cities RISE! is an outcomes-driven organization that strives to break the cycle of generational poverty. Through a pay-for-performance contract with the state of Minnesota and a private funder, TCR! receives funding only upon completion of long-term, successful outcomes. But we also rely on the generosity of individual donors and foundations to keep us funded. Our program works, and we achieve impressive results with it:

• 671% return to MN taxpayers. For every $1 invested in our program by the state, we return $7.71 to Minnesota taxpayers from increased state tax receipts, reduced state subsidies and reduced recidivism among our graduates.
• Higher participant income. Our participants increase their annual income by an average of 355% to $26,788 plus benefits after completing our program compared to $5,889 pre-program.
• Long-term job retention. TCR! graduates succeed in the workplace. Among them, 81% remain in their job in the first year, and 70% remain in the second year.
