About LVTRise

LVTRise was born from community-led Town Halls that revealed urgent gaps in services along the Las Vegas Trail. What started as a mobile resource center has grown into a permanent hub for stability, opportunity, and connection.

  • 2019: We opened the Rise Community Center, creating a home base for programs and services.
  • 2021: A Fort Worth Public Library branch joined the center, expanding access to knowledge.
  • 2022: The City approved a land lease for the Las Vegas Trail Child Development Campus, now under construction to serve 100 children and families.

Today, LVTRise is a trusted partner and catalyst for change. From food access and after-school programs to parenting classes, workforce development, and housing support—we walk alongside our neighbors every step of the way.

With nearly 1 in 5 residents lacking reliable transportation, accessibility is at the core of all we do: bringing resources directly into the heart of the neighborhood.

Our Focus Areas:

  • Safety
  • Education
  • Housing
  • Economic & Workforce Development
  • Health & Family Well-Being

Our Vision:A thriving Las Vegas Trail community—rich with opportunity, strong in connection, and sustainable for generations.

This North Texas Giving Day, your gift fuels real change right here at home. Together, we rise.

Needs

🏢 Operational Funding

To do this work well, we must keep our core strong. Operational dollars ensure we can:

Staff and train a responsive, compassionate team

Maintain our facility as a safe, welcoming hub

Coordinate services across dozens of community partners

Keep the lights on, the doors open, and the mission moving

🚨 Emergency Assistance Fund

When a crisis hits—like eviction, a job loss, or medical emergency—families need immediate support. This fund allows us to:

Provide rental and utility assistance to prevent homelessness

Distribute food, hygiene, and household items from our on-site pantry

Offer transportation, document recovery, and wraparound care when it matters most

This is the kind of support that kept Sarah and her son housed, fed, and on track for college.

📚 Cougar Corner & Student Support

We believe stability today creates opportunity tomorrow—and that starts with young people.

Funding for Cougar Corner allows us to:

Support students with tutoring, mentoring, and post-secondary planning

Provide meals, supplies, and enrichment activities

Stay connected to the whole family, addressing barriers before they become roadblocks

Every gift fuels the foundation that helps families rise—not just for a day, but for a lifetime.
