CooperRiis

Organization Description: 

A. Don and Lisbeth Riis Cooper first envisioned and then opened CooperRiis on June 15, 2003 as a healing farm community in beautiful Western North Carolina where individuals with mental illness and emotional distress learn new ways for improving functioning, gaining independence and attaining fulfillment in life through a comprehensive recovery-based program that addresses mind, body and spirit.
B. They built a Board of Directors and formed CooperRiis, Inc. as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, which functions privately, operating under North Carolina licensure.
C. Services are provided to voluntary residents, who agree to participate in the CooperRiis program, being funded by fees paid by their families, themselves and resources provided by foundations and individual donors.
D. Don, Lisbeth and the Board have raised almost $19 million to build and endow CooperRiis and have carefully guided the construction of safe and beautiful facilities, which give CooperRiis a warm home-like environment for residents and staff alike.
