How to Receive Charitable Donations requiring a 501(c)(3) status
A number of San Diego FTC and FLL teams have worked with a local 501(c)(3) organization to obtain charitable donations. Robotics Inspiring Science & Engineering (RISE) was set-up in 2008 by FTC team #32 Einstein's Daughters to partner with groups which needed access to an organization with 501(c)(3) status. Your donors give to RISE, and your team submits receipts for reimbursement until those funds are depleted. RISE withholds a small portion of all donations to teams in order to help fund its mission of creating team broadened STEM opportunities for students in southern California, and to provide grants/scholarships to high performing teams and individuals.  This is in addition to any fees that third party organizations such as Guidestar, etc. may deduct from donations to our teams.

RISE does not have a website at this time, but the contact person is JD Morrison, and his email is  <[email protected]>. The address of RISE is:
