New Sun Rising provides strategic programs, vital services, and accessible funding to power civic innovation from idea to impact.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, our staff and board have rapidly prioritized New Sun Rising’s assets through the following strategies in our Vibrant Communities framework. NSR’s primary goal is to support the needs of our nonprofit, small business, community, and philanthropic partners during this challenging time. Although the uncertainty that vulnerable communities face is a serious threat, we are inspired by those who are serving others while working hard to sustain their own operations. Special thanks to the New Sun Rising staff and board for their dedication to our mission through our core values of equity + inclusion, adaptability, and place-based work.
