I'RAISE Girls and Boys International Corporation Revenue and Competitors

I’RAISE was founded by Shanequa E. Moore in 2012, incorporated in 2013, and in 2014, became a Non-Profit Tax-Exempt Organization in the State of New York. I’RAISE originated as a mentoring program in the North Bronx, serving 40 female at-risk youth who resided in New York City Authority Housing; providing an intensive group based and individualized mentoring program. As the demand for our programs and services spread to other regions of the Bronx, the organization evolved into the now, IRAISE Girls & Boys International Corporation providing multi-youth services to multiple low-income communities. Our mission is to provide a holistic program aimed at improving socio-emotional well-being and educational outcomes of youth ages 5-19 years. Our aim is to also improve and develop under-resourced communities and schools who help youth become successful in life. I’RAISE, since its inception has more than tripled in growth; from 40 youth to presently serving approximately 1,000 youth annually. In the last fiscal year 2019, I’RAISE had many successes including the expanding of services into New York City Public Schools in 2013, launching comprehensive mental health in schools’ program in NYC public schools. I’RAISE also expanded its Arts program from locations in community centers to school-based art programs.
