🥳🦾🥳 GREAT NEWS!!! REACT has officially been granted another $25,000 in tax credits for donations of $500 or more.

Donors will be able to claim a state tax credit of 50% of their donation up to $50,000.

Last year, our amazing community helped us max out all of our available tax credits, and we were able to use it for the added costs of Phase 2 of RISE's renovation, and painting our space.

This next amount will fund some of our FINAL renovations, such as new doors and additional electrical upgrades.
