Anyone have experience with RISE awards?

[RobertFisher]

We have had paid interns for years at our firm and now have begun doing code camps. As the result of these and attending STEM conferences, we have found an organization that really is helping a lot of lower socioeconomic kids get to College. I won't tout them yet, but they have a very good track record and I am a big skeptic of these type organizations. I want to know that the people who are supposed to be helped are getting that help and these people are delivering. On top of that they are the kind of people (those running the organization) that I never see in non profits. They are truly engaged, very bright and they worked their butts off.

Not all of their kids are STEM kids and we are wanting to create a bit of a sub group with them for kids who would have interest or whose interests can be stimulated in or for STEM educations.

Google seems to be very proactive with getting girls and minorities more interested in the STEM fields and I have to applaud them. They also do the RISE Awards and they seem to have a lot less of the reporting requirements that can bog down (and make entrepreneurs run) the process. Have any of you Mozzers got firsthand experience/knowledge re the RISE awards? We want to assist this group in applying for one and any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
