EVALUATE BUSINESS IDEAS VIABILITY
BECOME A LOAN REVIEW COMMITTEE MEMBER
Loan Review Committee members review loan application proposals and assess the viability of the business.. Your expert recommendations will be used to contribute to financing decisions and approvals.
Make a difference
This is your chance to help fight stigma while giving back in your community.
When you join our Loan Review Committee, you become a catalyst for helping people who experience mental health and addiction challenges and have had difficulty accessing traditional financing to realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
What do I have to do?
Rise Loan Review Committee members commit to their role (48-96 hours annually). Of that commitment, you will spend 2 to 4 hours per month reviewing loan applications, then participate in a monthly meeting (2 to 4 hours), either in-person or via conference call, to make your expert recommendations. It’s a few hours a month that will make a big impact in many people’s lives.
Join us for a minimum of one year and see the difference you can make!
Please note: We are not actively recruiting volunteers for the Loan Review Committee at this time. Recruitment is based on organizational need. If you are interested in joining our Loan Review Committee, please fill out the application and we will reach out when opportunities arise.
