Elevate Prize Finalists, 2020 to 2026

Every year, the Elevate Prize goes looking for the boldest leaders on the planet. For months, changemakers and their organizations lay out their work and their vision, and then the hardest part begins for us. From a global field, our team narrows the list again and again, down to the ten who become that year’s winners.

The finalists are how we honor the leaders who make it to the very end. Not all of them win, but every one of them belongs here, each taking on a problem the world cannot afford to ignore, each deserving of the spotlight. These are those leaders.
