The Assisi Foundation of Memphis has long been committed to supporting economic mobility and building stronger communities. But like many funders, the challenge wasn’t just about investing in programs—it was about ensuring those investments created measurable impact for individuals who often face barriers to employment.
That’s where RiseKit came in. By providing a workforce development platform that connects nonprofits, training providers, and employers, RiseKit gave the Assisi Foundation the tools to see where participants were struggling, identify barriers early, and coordinate support across their network. The result was stronger pipelines for untapped talent and clear evidence of impact for the community.
This case study highlights how technology and collaboration can unlock opportunity for job seekers who are too often overlooked. It also shows how funders can move beyond fragmented program outcomes and gain real-time visibility into what works—ensuring every dollar drives systemic change.
