RiseUp EQ Press
RiseUp EQ Press is a division of RiseUp Equestrian Academy. We are committed to supporting charities of vulnerable populations through our educational digital and print publications. Our mission is to raise public awareness for issues that affect our furry friends, children, and seniors.
Current Press Projects:
The Donkey Sense Charity Project
Our digital publication, Donkey Sense: Uncommon Horse Sense, can be customized for equine-related charity fundraising purposes. All we need is their own custom-edited stories and images. We donate the activity portions of the book free of charge. The charity gets 100% of the donations. Take a look at the Donkey Sense digital example.
The Senior Citizen S.A.F.E. Project:
(Seniors Against Fraud and Exploitation)
Scamming seniors has become a big business around the world. The FTC has received over 6 million complaints since 2000, and it is only getting worse. Our digital book is senior-friendly and full of examples of senior scam prevention and action steps if they think they have been scammed. Please pass this link on to your senior friends and families and help stop elderly fraud!
Fundraising!
What’s better? The charity keeps 100% of the funds raised!
The custom digital Donkey Sense Workbook is provided to the charity to embed and promote right on their website.
RiseUp EQ selects and promotes one qualified charity per month on our website. 100% of the donations go straight to the charity.
Sponsor the production fee for your favorite charity, or have them check us out. We do the rest! We are excited to share this unique way to help them raise much-needed funds year-round.
