Give to the Max

On Give to the Max Day, November 20, 2025, join us in sustaining the living memorial at 38th & Chicago. Your gift helps Rise and Remember preserve thousands of offerings left in honor of George Floyd and other Black lives lost to racial injustice.

Every contribution supports our caretakers, conservation work, and spaces where community members can grieve, learn, and take action. Together, we can nurture this sacred site and keep the stories of resistance alive for generations to come.

Rise & Remember is the heart and soul of our community! Every time I’ve partnered with the organization—whether for events, pilgrimages for visitors from around the world, or in maintaining the people’s memorial at 38th and Chicago—their approach is always community-minded, anti-racist, and takes into thoughtful consideration the nuances of our complex and diverse neighborhood.

Rise & Remember has become an epicenter for social justice and change. Rise & Remember investment into its own community is the definition of philanthropy and community driven

Community Needs Community

George Floyd Square has been such a haven for young people like myself, to creatively express themselves and be in a safe space for abolition. It’s become a shelter, garden, memorial, and really embodies what community looks like. I’m so grateful to experience a memorial as a young person TODAY, and not have to wait for an injustice to be memorialized decades AFTER the tragedy, like so many others before George Floyd.
