Rise Asset Development

Rise Asset Development helps low-income individuals and families in Toronto build financial stability through matched savings programs and financial literacy education. The organization works with participants to open savings accounts, set money goals, and access matching funds that multiply their deposits dollar-for-dollar. By combining practical banking tools with personalized coaching and workshops on budgeting, credit, and debt management, Rise removes barriers that prevent people from building assets. The program focuses on creating pathways to homeownership, education funding, and small business ventures. Participants gain access to financial institutions while learning strategies to maintain their progress beyond the program, addressing root causes of poverty rather than temporary relief.
