We turn compassion into motion-
opening doors, creating work and helping people rise again
Who We Are:
A Legacy of Service
Core Group Cares was founded as the nonprofit arm of Core Group Resources, a leader in recruiting and staffing solutions. But we were never just about business - we were about people.
For years, Core Group Resources supported local and global organizations like Mission of Hope, Frontline, and Elijah Rising - providing relief for food insecurity, fighting human trafficking and supporting veterans.
While giving back was important, we saw a bigger need - a need for sustainable solutions that moved beyond temporary relief.
We asked a crucial question: What if we could do more than serve? What if we could create lasting pathways to opportunity?
The Rise Initiative:
Expanding Our Mission
Inspired by this question, we launched The Rise Initiative in partnership with Hope Legacy Collective and The Baxter Trust to address two major crises:
Hidden Talent
Many capable people are overlooked -
not for lack of skill, but lack of access.
The Opportunity Divide
At the same time, employers struggle to find reliable, motivated workers.
When good people get passed over, potential is wasted.
Communities lose mentors.
Families lose stability. Dignity fades.
Rise restores it -
one placement,
one life, one ripple at a time.
From Service to Sustainability
We bridge the gap between overlooked talent and businesses ready to hire with purpose - creating lasting impact through a threefold approach that fuels potential, restores dignity, and drives sustainable growth.
-
Partnering with Businesses
Connecting them with motivated, overlooked talent to build stronger teams.
-
Collaborating with Nonprofits
Ensuring candidates receive mentorship, training and job-readiness support.
-
Empowering Job-Seekers
Providing clear pathways to career-track employment, not just jobs.
No matter your role
- business, nonprofit, or individual -
you have the power to open doors, build futures, and help people rise.
Together, We Rise.
