About Us

We have personal connections with families on the edge of hopelessness. Over many years, we have been driven by being in relationships with families who need support. We all need support in some way.

Over these many years, we have come to see that there's no shortage of heart to support families. We have seen the incredible, dedicated teams at non-profits who show up time and time again. We also have seen that 
many organizations struggle to mobilize teams at scale - lacking systems, funding, support, and structure needed for the hard and valuable work of sustained relationships.

These personal relationships have also driven our UpFrom values. We’ve learnt that everyone has something to give, even if it’s their own story. Everyone has inherent value and worth. And we thrive where we are safe, whether it is physical, emotional or cognitive safety; it a bedrock for the trust needed for healthy relationships.

We built UpFrom to address these issues. UpFrom provides a relational operating system to equip organizations already doing the work and aims to unite families, volunteers, mentors, and community organizations to help everybody rise.

Everyone can do something. Everyone is invited.

We want to connect millions of lives with the transformative power of teams in local communities.   Whether as a supporter giving $5 a month to a family, a mentor giving reading lessons, a organization staff supporting complex needs or a donor wanting to change the trajectory of a city.

We imagine a future where a strong support network isn't luck or luxury it's as accessible as calling an Uber.

You are invited.
