We're so proud to announce the winner of our special #GiveMiamiDay x GET LOUD Award: Beyond the Bars! Today, live on stage in collaboration with The Miami Foundation and Miami Dade College, we were proud to not only announce them as a winner of our $25,000 award, but also announce a surprise and generous match from the Wolfson Family Foundation. Yes, they actually won $50,000! Deeply embedded in the Miami community, Beyond the Bars is fighting for better working conditions for low-wage, criminalized workers in South Florida. Through education, advocacy, and organizing, they challenge the exploitation of workers with arrest records. After receiving thousands of nominations, 9 Miami-Dade College Changemaking students helped us choose Beyond the Bars as our winner. We all loved their robust resources and how creative they are with their programming, including with poetry and wellness offerings. Overall, we are in awe of them and are so proud to welcome them to the Elevate family! Thank you, Miami Foundation, Miami-Dade College, Randi Wolfson and Miami-Dade college students for the incredible collaboration this month.

Holding Dwyane Wade's words close to our hearts this #TransRemembranceDay. This past May, we were deeply proud to honor NBA Hall of Famer (and Miami legend!) with the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award in recognition of his advocacy for the transgender community. Live on stage at our #MakeGoodFamous Summit, he also announced the launch of Translatable, a safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth to express themselves and a resource hub for our parents, families, and support systems. His tireless dedication to the trans community and racial justice inspires us every day. May we all love our children as Dwyane does!

"Why IS Elevate in Miami?" is a question we often get. Here, our CEO Carolina García Jayaram explains why —?and why we're proud to be a part of this city's social impact growth.
Culture is power. It’s everywhere, from the media we consume to the clothes we wear. It has the power to inspire others and make world-changing impact. So why aren’t more changemakers at its center?
I often get asked, "Why is The Elevate Prize Foundation based in Miami?" I had the chance to answer this question with our Director of Marketing & Communications, Marina Adese, to share some thoughts on why this city is home to most of our team and why we think it’s important to bring social impact work and global philanthropy to the world’s most diverse city. Miami is a place of inspiration, and we're so excited to be part of its growth.???
