Awards

We are thrilled to share that Phoenix has been recognised as one of the #iAlso100 for 2025 by f:Entrepreneur! This prestigious campaign celebrates the diverse talents and achievements of female entrepreneurs across the UK, and we are incredibly proud to be part of this inspiring community

Raise to Rise was founded to address a critical gap in fundraising support for small and new charities—one that she experienced first-hand. The past year has been both challenging and rewarding, navigating an increasingly difficult funding landscape. Despite a £4.6 billion decrease in funding for small charities in 2024, Raise to Rise has worked alongside 15 incredible organisations, helping them secure over £140,000 in vital funding.

However, this recognition is not just about our work—it is a testament to the collective effort of those dedicated to strengthening the small charity sector.

The #iAlso100 campaign highlights the multifaceted journeys of female entrepreneurs, recognising those who wear multiple hats in business and beyond. It is an honour to be featured among so many trailblazing women who are making a difference in their industries and communities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to f:Entrepreneur for championing female-led businesses and creating a platform that celebrates, supports, and connects women in business. We are excited to be part of the #iAlso100 community and look forward to collaborating, sharing, and learning together to drive even greater impact.

At Raise to Rise, we are committed to breaking barriers and empowering small charities to thrive. As part of this journey, we also stand behind the mission to increase the percentage of female-led businesses to 30% by 2030.

Here’s to supporting, leading, and rising together!

Our very own Phoenix Humphreys was recognised at the Woman Who Achieves awards as the Solopreneur One to Watch 2024!

The Woman Who Achieves and the Solopreneur Awards were founded by Sandra Garlick MBE in January 2016. Sandra’s mission is to create more women in business role models to inspire others. The Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of women in business throughout the UK doing it on their own.

I’m incredibly lucky to have found my passion in life before hitting the big 30 and with a spot of luck and a lot of determination launch my own business, Raise to Rise. Supporting Founders, CEOs and Fundraisers of small charities brings me so much joy and helping them secure funding to enable the continuation of their missions is immensely rewarding, challenging, at time frustrating but always very fulfilling.

I was so delighted to receive these comments from both Sandra and the judges.

We are thrilled to announce that Phoenix Humphreys has been nominated for a Businesswoman of the Year Award! The awards take place globally each December where women are celebrated and recognised for their outstanding contributions and achievements.
