Who are we?
Our History
Founded in 2023, PNW Rise, a subsidiary of the Quitoriano Family Foundation, was established out of a profound understanding and commitment to address the unmet needs of our community in Corvallis, Oregon, and the surrounding areas. Our founders, with their extensive experience working with non-profits, identified a significant gap in resources for individuals seeking life, job, and life management skills.
Recognizing this need, we took a leap of faith and embarked on a journey to make a difference. We registered our non-profit, PNW Rise, with a mission to empower and uplift those who need it most.
In the short time since our inception, we have been diligently working towards developing impactful programs and services. As we move into 2024, we are excited about the potential to transform lives and contribute positively to our community.
While we may not have many traditional milestones to share yet, our biggest achievement lies in the recognition of a need and taking the initiative to fill it. Our journey has just begun, and we are committed to rising to the challenge and making a lasting impact in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
