Grow for Good in action.

Our first core value is “Grow for Good” simply means that the more we grow the more good we can do in the world.

One of the ways we do that is through our Foundation, where Rate covers all administrative costs so 100% of every dollar we receive helps the people we serve.

Our approach

It’s our goal to offer hope to those in crisis—an opportunity to stop, take a breath and begin healing.

We welcome applications directly from those in need, as well as from organizations or individuals who wish to nominate applicants.

After reviewing applications, our committee grants funds with careful consideration of our ultimate goal: to provide a lasting impact on the lives of our recipients.
