Job Summary
RIZE Massachusetts (RIZE) is an independent non-profit foundation working to end the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts and reduce its devastating impact on people, communities, and the economy. Launched in 2017, RIZE is the result of visionary, influential providers, payers, unions, and advocates coming together to address the alarming increase in OUD and overdose in Massachusetts. These founding partners convened with their public counterparts to develop and fund an operational platform on which a small, expert team has generated close to $25 million for prevention and treatment services, research, and convenings.
RIZE continues to make great strides as the only foundation dedicated solely to funding solutions to end the opioid crisis across the state. In its work to fuel evidence-based, scalable, and coordinated initiatives, RIZE embraces innovation, connectivity, collaboration, and inclusivity – ensuring that those with lived experience are members of this partnership. RIZE employees are hosted by Mass General Brigham, a founding member of RIZE.
