OUR MISSION

THE ELEVATE PRIZE FOUNDATION IS A GLOBAL NONPROFIT ON A MISSION TO MAKE GOOD FAMOUS.
To ensure lasting impact, the organization is committed to bringing visibility to the work of changemakers, creating a fanbase for good, and inspiring action on an international scale.

OUR WHY

To create meaningful, lasting change, social impact needs – and deserves – visibility. How can we ever expect to scale impact past a certain point if the public neither knows about nor champions it?

OUR STORY

The Elevate Prize Foundation was created and founded by businessman, philanthropist, and author Joseph Deitch in 2019 to empower passionate purpose-driven leaders, activists, and innovators. He was inspired to drive change – not only through financial support, but by building powerful platforms and telling their stories in ways that resonate with audiences around the world. 

“In a world where actors, musicians, sports players and social media stars are
celebrities, but social good heroes are unknown, it’s time for change.”

– Joseph Deitch, founder of The Elevate Prize Foundation
