supporting innovation,
inspiration, and progress

When changemakers defy categorization, enter the Elevate Prize Founder’s Award. An award designed to support innovation, inspiration, and progress wherever we find it.

The award?

An unrestricted grant designed to drive greater impact. This is about purpose and inspiration coming together – it is an award for extraordinary opportunities that may not align with our signature programs, but are vital to our mission. When our founder, Joe Deitch, or other members of the senior team, encounter a game changing social entrepreneur or endeavor, we conduct our due diligence and go from there.

The impact?

Immediate.

This prize is awarded selectively at the discretion of the Elevate Prize Foundation team and our founder, Joe Deitch. Solicitation will not be considered.

“Sometimes we meet a person whose vision captivates us, or we discover an organization that’s making waves – and making progress. Maybe they don’t fit the criteria for one of our other prizes, so the Elevate Prize Founder’s Award is poised to fill that gap and support social entrepreneurs and enterprises that are especially deserving.”

-Joseph Deitch
