Elevate Prize Foundation Chief Program Officer Megan Bambino spent a day with the Chef Ann Foundation team including a cooking workshop.

We're on a mission to Make Good Famous – so that people can find, follow and celebrate social impact leaders – and get inspired to drive change themselves. Join us. We are committed to bringing visibility to the work of changemakers, creating a fanbase for good, and inspiring action on an international scale. We believe that people driving positive change should be as recognizable and influential as any celebrity; and that the communities and the issues they champion to be seen, understood, and valued. On our page, you'll get inspired by some of the most incredible social impact organizations and leaders in the world - each of whom have been recognized through one of our three main initiatives: The Elevate Prize: Every year, through our signature program, we champion 10+ social entrepreneurs for their impact and leadership. These leaders receive $300,000+ in unrestricted funding and resources like leadership development services, mentorship, and capacity-building opportunities to help increase recognition and grow impact. The Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award: Follow us on Instagram, where we award $25,000 in unrestricted funding every month to a grassroots organization nominated by our community. The Elevate Prize GET LOUD award is designed to fuel grassroots movements and organizers on the frontlines committed to collective action and building power among communities. The Elevate Prize Catalyst Award: This award recognizes prominent individuals who are using their influence to inspire action (winners include the characters of Sesame Street, Dwyane Wade, Malala, Trevor Noah, Matt Damon, Michael J Fox, Amal and George Clooney). Elevate Prize Catalyst Award recipients receive $250,000 in unrestricted funding to dedicate to a cause of their choosing. These partnerships create a bridge to traditional fan bases and tap into the world of entertainment to inspire more people and make more impact. Join us on our mission to Make Good Famous!
