Welcome to NRF Foundation's RISE Up. Please see below for information about navigating our platform.
Your organization's RISE Up administrator will complete the initial registration step with Kaleidoscope Learning and then they will add users to the account (this includes site administrators, teachers and proctors).
Once you have been added to the platform by your organization's RISE Up administrator, you will receive a welcome email from riseup@kaleidolearning.com with details on how to access the platform. You may need to check your spam or junk folder.
Please contact your organization's RISE Up administrator if you have questions about when you will gain access to the portal. If you are unsure who your organization's RISE Up administrator is, please email RISEUp@nrf.com for assistance.
Beginning in 2023, our third-party vendor for the Rise Up portal changed. This includes both the learning platform as well as payment processing.
Please share current instructions for paying invoices with your billing contact. In a few instances, billing departments are using outdated addresses and incorrect payees for checks.
The correct information for mailing checks is as follows:
Kaleidoscope Learning
401 Park Avenue, 10th Floor
New York, NY 10016
