What RIZE Prevention Inc does
Mission
As an organization, our vision is to create effective, proven solutions to one of the biggest crises affecting our state and country today- substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders among youth. 3 out of 10 middle school students and 8 out of 10 high school students have used substances at some time in their lives. 90% of adults with a reported substance use disorder began experimenting with nicotine, drugs, or alcohol before the age of 15. Data from CDCs National Center for Health Statistics (2024): 15% of high school students reported having ever used select illicit or injection drugs, such as cocaine, inhalants, heroin, methamphetamines, hallucinogens, or ecstasy. 14% of students reported misusing prescription opioids. Injection drug use places youth at direct risk for HIV, and drug use places youth at risk of overdose. Youth opioid use is directly linked to sexual risk behaviors. 10.9% of eighth graders, 19.8% of 10th graders, and 31.2% of 12th graders reported any ill
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
We provide the iRIZE program, which is an evidence-based approach to primary and secondary prevention for youth. iRIZE was built on our innovative, signature prevention methodology and comprehensive relational system of care model. We provide iRIZE free of charge to middle schools in South Carolina, thanks to grants and donations we receive for this program. Having conducting a 4-year pilot study in collaboration with SC Department of Education and school districts in Upstate SC, we are confident about the efficacy of our evidence-informed approach and our implementation of evidence-based drug prevention programming and peer led social norm interventions. This 4-month program serves students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Access to our Community Connector resource tool is given to all students, parents and school staff associated with those schools. We are now piloting our Mission iRIZE initiative to provide our facets of our iRIZE program to high school and college students- via our participation in the SC POWER Collective Co-op for opioid addiction and overdose prevention- along with all our support resources and counseling/coaching services. During the 2025-26 academic year,…

Live Drug Free! presentation, and Power Collective Co-op programs and outreach. These efforts conducted outside of school settings are innovative ways to reach youth who may not have access to our iRIZE program and are conducted in partnership with local community resource providers, local law enforcement and national law enforcement. These initiatives are provided free of charge and are funded by specified donations and grants received by RIZE Prevention. Access to our CCFC resource tool is given to everyone who attends, as well as to the entire Upstate community. We also launched a new workshop designed to educate parents about the teenage brain, effects of substance use on the developing brain, and teaching the principles and skills of parental co-regulation. The total number of attendees for these presentations was approximately 8,750 people. We are also in the process of testing our digital iJOURNEY course for youth, which can be accessed online and provides a 7-step course for…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $153k to $412k (+169%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 58% · 2023 43% · 2024 80% · 2025 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $45k → $115k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
RIZE Prevention Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
