RISE isn’t just a name.

It’s a direction.

Revive what came before.
Inspire new people into the culture.
Sustain what we build.
Elevate it to where it belongs.

These aren’t ideas.

They’re commitments.

And if you’ve been part of The BIG over the years…
you’ve already seen pieces of this in motion.

RISE is what happens when that vision becomes intentional.

Quiet work.
Strong foundation.
Long-term vision.

RISE — Ritmo Institute for Salsa Education — was built the right way from day one.

✔️ 501(c)(3) public charity
✔️ EIN assigned
✔️ SAM.gov registered
✔️ Financial + operational systems in place

This isn’t about moving fast.
It’s about building something that lasts.

Because salsa deserves more than moments—
it deserves infrastructure.

And now, we’re opening the door for the community to be part of it.

In partnership with , we’re introducing a new opportunity:

💡 Fundraise your way to BIG.

Instead of paying out of pocket, you can raise support through RISE—
with tax-deductible donations that go back into the community.

If salsa has ever given you something—
this is your chance to give something back.
