About The
Raise Foundation

The Raise Foundation is a non-profit organization with a singular mission: To end the cycle of child abuse and neglect by providing direct services to families and children.

Especially during times of need, we train child-serving professionals and advocates such as doctors and social workers on a variety of child welfare best practices, and advocate for comprehensive policies to address the needs of our Orange County Community

The past few years have been difficult for many children and families. The need for prevention has never been greater!

Advocating For Change

Ending child abuse, neglect and maltreatment requires change.

Yes, families need support, but we also must adapt and change how we accomplish providing that support. The tools, techniques, and approaches of a decade ago may not work in the world we live in today.

This change may be in how we approach using technology or working on laws and regulations to protect children in a virtual world. The system of care and support for children must adapt to many new and emerging challenges. Advocating for the well-being of children and their families has many aspects: educating decision makers, employers, as well as our elected officials at all levels. We all have a role to play in this effort and we encourage you to take part in standing up for kids.

Our Agency Goals

Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
