Current status

Rising Up Now is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Rising Up Now is currently using a support inquiry workflow rather than live online donation checkout while payment processing, receipt, and compliance details are finalized.

Deductibility and disclosures

The website should not promise that every payment is fully deductible. Deductibility may depend on the donor's circumstances and on whether goods or services are provided in return for a contribution.

The EIN may be used in formal receipts, grant documents, verified transparency materials, and legally required disclosures, but it should not be placed prominently on ordinary public pages.

Before activating donations

The legal organization name should match the IRS determination letter exactly, Form 990-series filing obligations should be current, and applicable state charitable solicitation requirements should be reviewed before public checkout goes live.

Donation receipts should contain the required acknowledgment language, and any public posting of IRS verification materials should avoid unredacted letters and unnecessary administrative identifiers.
