Testimonial

“The Rise Memphis Save Up Program has been so great for me! Even though I have completed the program, I will keep working to save even more. Through the save program, I was able to get a new laptop for my Bookkeeping business as well as headphones so that I am able to work in loud spaces. They also connected. me with a financial advisor who has provided me with the next steps to completely pay down my debt. I will continue to save and continue to work towards being debt free! Thank you so much!!”

– K. Youngblood, SAVE Up Participant

Testimonial

“Through one-on-one counseling, I was able to better understand my finances, create a plan, and stay consistent with saving and budgeting. Over time, I’ve seen real progress. Today, my credit score has improved to 742, which is something I’m incredibly proud of.

RISE Memphis didn’t just help me improve my finances. They helped me think differently about money, plan for the future, and take steps that I didn’t think were possible before.”
