Matthew Minor

Matthew is the Managing Director at the Elevate Prize Foundation, where he leads internal execution and organizational performance across programs, marketing, operations, and partnerships. He brings deep experience building and scaling mission-driven platforms, including leading global expansion and partnerships at MIT Solve and shaping flagship programming at the Clinton Global Initiative. Across roles, he focuses on turning ambitious ideas into high-performing teams, enduring partnerships, and measurable impact.

At Elevate, Matthew partners closely with the CEO and leadership team to translate strategy into results, drive alignment on priorities, and build the systems and accountability that keep the organization moving with clarity and momentum. He oversees impact strategy and learning for the foundation’s investments, guides Elevate’s convenings and community-building work, and helps steward strategic partnerships that expand resources and visibility for Elevate Prize winners and alumni. Matthew is also a member of the Newman’s Own Foundation Advisory Council.

What drives Matthew most is Elevate’s belief that visibility is a multiplier of impact. He loves helping extraordinary leaders grow their reach and become cultural forces for good.

Outside of work, Matthew is a big believer in Elevate’s philosophy of Whole Leadership, the idea that sustaining impact requires being intentional about rest, renewal, and perspective over the long haul. He recharges through CrossFit, the beach, and time with his dog.
