TOPIC OF THE MONTH
GET LOUD january
For three weeks, our hearts and minds have been with the people of Los Angeles and everyone affected by the devastating fires. In times like these, we’re reminded of the power of community and the incredible work of those on the frontlines.
Like so many others, we want to help this enormous effort however we can. That’s why, this month, we’re dedicating our Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award to supporting 3 organizations — $10,000 each — working to provide wildfire relief and aid, particularly in the recovery.
Nominate community-based organizations helping to rebuild Los Angeles and restore hope by heading to our Instagram. Eligible organizations must be a 501(c)(3) or have fiscal sponsorship, with an annual revenue under $1M.

FAQS
To nominate an organization, simply tag the organization or comment their name below the “Nominations Open” post on the @elevateprize Instagram.
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!
This award is designed to uplift community-based organizations who have an annual budget under 1 million dollars and are a certified 501c3 or public charity.
Organizations can be nominated infinite times, but that won’t impact judging. Winners will be chosen by the Elevate team regardless of number of nominations, based on their mission, budget, and impact.
Topics are chosen based on suggestions from our community, time of year, current events, or by the Elevate team.
