What if 99¢ of every donated dollar actually reached the people it was meant for?

⚡️That’s exactly what happened last year.
Less than 0.5% overhead. Real impact.
2025 was our most successful year yet.

Rise Up Humanity raised over $259,000 to support families fleeing war in Sudan and Gaza, with humanitarian projects running in Egypt.

🎯Our total overhead? Just $1,059 — simply what was needed to keep the work going while nearly every dollar reached the families it was meant to help.

🌍 We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit committed to ethical care, radical transparency, and respecting every dollar entrusted to us.

Aid done right. Help us keep it that way.

Minnesota has always been about showing up for one another. In moments like this, we are proud of the people across our state who lead with care, courage, and responsibility for their neighbors.

We are a nonprofit rooted in Minnesota, and we are offering our platform to support and amplify Minnesotans and organizations who are actively helping their communities and neighbors in need during this time.

If you are doing this work and would like to collaborate, we invite you to contact us. We believe in people, in community power, and in showing up when it matters most. This moment calls for solidarity, and we are committed to standing with those who answer that call.

I’m Lindsey Smith, Co-Founder and President of Rise Up Humanity. A year ago, I moved to Cairo with my daughter. This move is part of something much bigger.

A year and a half ago, we partnered with Network For Palestine, a grassroots community led by people from Gaza. Together, we have supported more than 35,000 Palestinians who fled the war by providing healthcare, food, rent support, stipends, and a free shopping system where families choose what they need with dignity. We also mentor teens finishing high school. It is life changing work.

This work is critical. Palestinians in Egypt have no refugee status. They cannot work legally or open a bank account. Everything relies on community support.

Follow along, support these families, and stay informed. I am finally ready to share this journey.
