About
A public charity built to deliver help and account for it.
Elevate Foundation is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization. We find a worthwhile need, determine whether we can make a meaningful difference, and act.
Who we are
Elevate Foundation is a flexible, community-focused charity organized around simple, tangible acts of good. It is not limited to a single type of assistance. Our work began with a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, which remains our core program, and we will take on additional projects when the need, a plan, and the funding are clear.
We favor practical impact over complexity, and action over appearances. Success is good actually accomplished, not organizational size.
The organization is based in the community where the work started, and that is still where the annual giveaway is held. We have also completed a distribution in another community when a local need and a way to deliver the help were in place. We do not claim a national presence.
