ABOUT THE EVENT

The Make Good Famous Summit is an annual convening that brings forth some of the most innovative cross-sector minds to come together and positively disrupt the impact landscape.

Our goal is to spark fresh ideas by challenging conventional thinking, fostering an inclusive and loving community, and inspiring people to take action to ‘do good’ in their own communities.

Meet the Elevate Prize Foundation team who brought this year’s Make Good Famous Summit to life. Our annual Summit is an act of love for our community and is an event rooted in purpose, joy, and connection. It takes months of thoughtful planning, and this team ensures every detail is brought to life with care, creativity, and intention.

A New Era of Impact

This year’s theme invited us to reflect on a vital question: How can we build an impact community that is bolder, more inclusive, leverages culture and storytelling more effectively… all while taking care of each other and ourselves? Panels like Philanthropy Unafraid: Staying Brave When the Stakes Are High brought this to life by creating space for honest, urgent dialogue about what it means to lead with courage in a world where the stakes have never been higher.
