TOPIC OF THE MONTH
climate change & DISASTER RISK REDUCTION:
Nominations are OPEN for our October Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award as voted on by YOU: Climate Change & Disaster Risk Reduction!*
Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s an urgent reality. From unprecedented hurricanes like those over the past two weeks in the U.S., to rising sea levels and devastating wildfires, the impacts are real and alarming. Florida, North Carolina, Nepal, Brazil, Chad… the number of ongoing climate crises are impossible to count. These changes not only threaten our environment but also our health, economies, and communities, particularly those in conflict-affected areas and among those historically marginalized.

FAQS
How can you nominate an organization?
To nominate an organization, simply tag the organization below the “Nominations Open” post on the @elevateprize Instagram.
How are winners chosen?
The Elevate Prize team vets and reviews all nominated organizations based on their alignment with our decision-making criteria. This criteria includes how the organization aligns to the theme, their mission and programming, leadership, and impact potential.
How are monthly topics chosen?
Topics are chosen by the Elevate team, who take into account suggestions from our community, the time of year, current events, and trends we are seeing in the nonprofit field.
Who can nominate?
ANYONE can make a nomination for the Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award unless you work for The Elevate Prize Foundation (we think that would be a little too insider-y). Nominate an organization whose work you believe in, or nominate your OWN organization!
Who can be awarded the Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award?
This award is designed to uplift community-based organizations from anywhere in the world that have an annual revenue under 1 million dollars and are a certified 501c3 or public charity.

Does it help if my organization is nominated more than once?
Organizations can be nominated infinite times, but that won’t impact the selection process. We review everyone organization nominated, equally.
