Stabilizing Today, Empowering Tomorrow
We acknowledge and support people on their journey, helping them to find solutions to stabilize their immediate needs first, so that we can build a strong foundation and nudge people towards empowerment.
Our communities are inherently strong and resilient, and through a culture of problem solving and coaching, we create space for people to dream and plan.
Basic Needs Support
We connect Calgarians to essential supports such as food, clothing, and other basic needs through community resources and partner agencies.
Basic Needs Fund
The Basic Needs Fund (BNF) provides one-time emergency financial assistance to low-income Calgarians facing urgent hardship, helping prevent housing loss, utility disconnections, and other crises that threaten stability.
Financial Coaching
One-on-one financial coaching, on your schedule. Work with an Advocate on the everyday money goals that matter to you — building a budget, understanding your finances, or answering the money questions you've been meaning to ask.
Earn and Learn
Are you ready to save money and take control of your finances? Rise Calgary, in partnership with Momentum, invites you to join our exciting matched savings program, Earn and Learn.
Mobility Coaching
Mobility Coaching connects participants with a coach who helps them build practical strategies, set goals, and work toward meaningful change over time.

The Good Food Box Program is operated by the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary and supported by Rise Calgary. It helps address food security by providing fresh fruits and vegetables at an affordable cost.
