Village Rising - BDOG

Village Rising is a Sacramento-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening stability, expanding opportunity, and supporting long-term economic mobility for families and individuals throughout the Sacramento region. We serve low- to moderate-income households, particularly those who often fall between traditional assistance programs and true financial security.

Our work addresses the interconnected challenges families face through a coordinated ecosystem of programs:

• The VR Childcare and Resource Program provides nurturing early education environments while connecting families to essential community resources.

• Our Housing Stability initiative offers intervention-focused support, housing navigation, and financial tools designed to promote long-term housing security.

• The Employment Access Services Program removes administrative barriers by providing required background checks, document services, and employment entry support that help individuals pursue jobs, licensing, housing, and volunteer opportunities.

• The Financial Empowerment Series delivers practical education in financial literacy, credit building, homeownership readiness, and long-term wealth development.

• The Workforce Development & Internship Program creates pathways to career readiness through mentorship, hands-on experience, and equitable professional opportunities.

Village Rising operates from the belief that childcare, housing stability, employment access, and financial education must work together to create sustainable change. By investing in Village Rising, supporters help reduce barriers, expand access to opportunity, and strengthen families across the Sacramento region.
