Invest in Women. Transform Communities. One Plate at a Time.

At RISE Culinary Institute, we believe that food has the power to heal, connect, and create opportunity. When you donate to RISE, you’re doing more than supporting a culinary program, you’re helping refugee and immigrant women build confidence, gain economic independence, and rise into a better future.

Why Give?

Every dollar you give directly supports

  • Hands-on culinary training: ingredients, uniforms, kitchen equipment, and chef instruction
  • Job readiness and life skills: ServSafe® certification, resume coaching, and job placement support
  • Cultural empowerment: Cultural Days, storytelling, and community events

The Solution

A Message From Lavanya Mahate

Founder

“I started RISE to give back what was once given to me—a chance. When you support RISE, you’re not just helping a student cook. You’re helping her believe in herself, support her family, and create a ripple of change in her community.”
