The word RISE in its name is an acronym for Resources Information Socialisation Education.[4] It was founded by sisters Celeste Jones, Kristina Jones and Juliana Buhring shortly before the release of their book, "Not Without My Sister" and some of the proceeds from sales of the book have been used to fund the start-up costs of the organization.[5] Its directors include five former second generation members of The Family.[6] In December 2007, RISE International announced it planned to incorporate in the United States and apply to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status as a charity.[7] On March 17, 2008, RISE International Foundation was incorporated in New York as a domestic not-for-profit corporation.[8]
