RIZE Massachusetts Foundation (RIZE), launched in 2017, is the only public-private nonprofit partnership in the Commonwealth dedicated to funding and collaborating on solutions to end the overdose crisis. Guided by those with lived experience and unafraid of new ideas, RIZE is building networks, creating programming, and supporting community partners using novel approaches to preventing overdose and increasing access to treatment. Since its inception, RIZE has awarded over $28 million to more than 275 organizations aligned with our mission.

In 2024, the Healey-Driscoll Administration selected RIZE to create and manage Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership (Mosaic). Funded by the MA Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund and the MA Department of Public Health, Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, through a nine-year state contract, Mosaic is a unique public-private partnership that allows small, community-based organizations and municipalities to apply for settlement funds. The grants, approximately $5 million annually, strengthen prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery, trauma, and family support programs. In 2025, RIZE assumed a significant role in providing training and technical support to municipalities participating in the Mosaic partnership through a second state contract, bringing the Mosaic programs together in a cohesive and coordinated way, creating a powerful impact for our communities. Beginning November 1, 2025, RIZE became the fiscal sponsor of the Massachusetts Harm Reduction Workforce Coalition through another state contract.

Over the past two years, RIZE has seen tremendous growth. Our revenue has increased significantly, our organizational budget has grown by over 200%, and our program portfolio has expanded to include training, technical assistance, and fiscal sponsorship alongside our increased grantmaking. With twelve full-time employees and a part-time CFO retiring in March, we must increase our organizational capacity to meet the moment. Strengthening our foundation will enable us to fulfill our leadership role in supporting individuals and communities throughout the Commonwealth.
