How we handle nominations

When you submit a nomination, we collect the information you provide — including your name and contact details, the nominee's name and school, and the story you share about their impact.

We use this information solely to review and consider nominations for The Rise Award and The Rooted Award. We will not sell your information.

If you grant permission, we may share the nomination story publicly as part of recognition. If you ask us to keep it private, we will not share the details of your nomination.

For questions about your nomination or this policy, contact hello@riseandrooted.org.
