Jay Shetty took the stage on our behalf to announce the first-ever Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award for Social Good, honoring a content creator using their platform to drive impact and MAKE GOOD FAMOUS. Our CEO, Carolina Garcia Jayaram, joined Jay to share that the Elevate Prize Foundation was donating $50,000 to the winner’s cause.
Invisible People was named the winner for their powerful use of content to change the story of homelessness. We are over the moon to welcome them into the Elevate family!
We are also excited to share that the Elevate Prize Foundation is increasing our investment in GET LOUD! We launched GET LOUD to empower everyone with the tools to make change. You – our community – have shown up and demonstrated, time and time again, that you are passionate about these issues and are ready to take action. We have heard you and, too, are ready to act. Starting in September 2023, we will now be awarding the winning community-based organizations with $25,000 grants to further their missions!
TOPIC OF THE MONTH
GET LOUD for Representation in Media!
Beautiful Strength is our Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award winner for Representation in Media. Beautiful Strength travels the United States (and a bit of Canada) on a bright pink bus photographing and telling the stories of underrepresented, resilient humans. We love their use of portrait photography and storytelling as their medium, how they’re always looking for the GOOD, and how they give a voice to those we don’t hear enough – from veterans and adaptive athletes to sex trafficking survivors and the unhoused. Beautiful Strength will receive $25,000 in unrestricted funding to further their mission.
Make sure you’re following us on Instagram to nominate for the next Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award, the topic will be announced in October!
