RISE Prep Mayoral Academy (RISE) is a tuition-free public charter school serving students from Woonsocket, North Smithfield, and Burrillville, Rhode Island. The school emphasizes Individualized Education Plans that respond to the unique learning needs of each student. RISE spent its first three years in a temporary site that it quickly outgrew. NFF financed RISE’s acquisition and renovation of their current campus – a four-story, 34,000 square foot building just half a mile from their original location. To date, NFF has closed three separate loans to RISE (totaling $~15.2 million), with LISC purchasing a 50% participation in each transaction. This loan will support the third and final phase of the project, which includes a double-story gymnasium, classrooms, and a conference room totaling 8,500 square feet.
