Race Project KC is building something powerful, and your support helps carry this work forward as we evolve from a program of the Johnson County Library into an independent nonprofit, Raise Up KC. After more than a decade of work, through student workshops and symposiums, educator summits, community conversations, and local partnerships, the work has grown into something bigger than any one program could hold. Raise Up KC is the new nonprofit that brings three programs under one umbrella: Race Project KC, Rise Up Leaders, and Raise Up Community. Learn more here.

By making a donation, you’re helping fund programming and experiences for students, community members, and educators that are anchored in innovative education, honest historical exploration, and meaningful connections. Together, we’re working toward a more equitable, thriving community, the kind every city deserves.

The people who invest in this moment become the founding supporters of Raise Up KC. Your contribution right now helps us build the infrastructure, the programs, and the presence to make that vision thrive.
