Dr. Martha Cook and the Rise Program staff from the University of Alabama provide the Stillwater program with continuous consultation, training and support services to ensure appropriate implementation of the Rise model.

Stillwater Head Start has graciously agreed to rent necessary space and provide in-kind facility support for Rise's operations.

Oklahoma State University and the College of Human Environmental Sciences receive funding from the state legislature through a contract with the State Department of Education to partially support the operational costs of the school.

Additional funding to cover operational expenses of the school comes from the Mya Gonzales Foundation.  The Gonzales family has been instrumental in raising awareness for the need of a Rise School in Oklahoma.
