Roadmap for Rising
Every rise starts with a plan.
In a time when the systems meant to serve our communities are cracking under pressure, Five & Rising is moving with vision, urgency, and resolve. We’re laying out how we’re building power, testing what works, and setting the stage for long-term transformation across the sector. Because a bigger revolution starts with a plan and first steps.
The roadmap for a social sector revolution.
Mission Control
Spring 2025
Bold action across communities, funders, and field leaders. Mission Control is all about support, rapid learning, connection, and iteration. We’re moving fast—and moving smart.
Learning in Public
Summer 2025
Now is not the time for perfection. As communities test new models, we’ll create fast feedback loops, real-time learning moments, and open-source insights so others can watch, learn, and join in. This is about open, courageous innovation for the social sector.
Get the Word Out
Fall 2025
It’s time to put Five & Rising on the map through a national narrative-change campaign. Powered by bold digital storytelling, flagship events, and documentary work in motion, we’re going to shift perceptions, challenge old assumptions, and elevate the sector.
Equip and Education
Winter 2026
Accessible training. Strategic tools. New frameworks. All to help the sector step into this moment. Think beyond webinars. This is movement-ready education designed to power up people and organizations alike.
Fuel Policy Change
Spring 2026
Innovation needs oxygen. We’ll push for policy that backs experimentation, funds real costs, and breaks red tape. A dual-track strategy will advance national reforms while supporting communities to lead the revolution locally.
Make It Loud
Summer 2026
Those who didn’t know about Five & Rising yet will now. We’ll amplify the wins, spark new conversations, and bring the broader public into the movement. From press to culture-shifting moments, this is when we turn Five & Rising all the way up.
Building Momentum
2026 and Beyond
There is never a time to slow down. Everything we learn, build, and test will feed the engine of long-term change. Together, with our pilot communities and growing coalition, we’ll scale bold solutions and build the infrastructure for a thriving, liberated, and powerful social sector.
Let’s keep rising.
This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement. And we need everyone to join in.
