Welcome to the RIS Foundation! We are a non-profit organization with a heartfelt mission and a compelling story.

Our Origin: Angelica’s Journey

At the heart of our foundation lies the remarkable journey of the founder, a South Central Native. Her life took a challenging turn when she experienced homelessness. However, in the face of adversity, she found hope through local nonprofits that supported her with education and secured her permanent housing.

Our Inspiration: Angelica’s Transformation

Today, Angelica Brightmon stands as a college graduate, a symbol of resilience, and the driving force behind RIS Foundation. Her life’s journey inspired her to create this organization, with a deep-seated commitment to assisting those in her community who once faced the same struggles.
