Elevating organizations advancing economic opportunity. The Elevate Initiative is supporting organizations doing on-the-ground work to remove structural barriers and accelerate economic mobility for communities of color. The Elevate Initiative, a partnership between Frontline Solutions and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is requesting proposals from organizations seeking to advance economic mobility and promote job quality.
In 2021, Elevate launched its first RFP providing funding and facilitated learning through a community of practice for 16 organizations across the country. We then followed that up in 2022 by investing in 15 smaller, emerging organizations.
This time around in 2023, we are merging those efforts–and the learnings that came with them–into one process that reflects an effort to expand relationships with organizations and leaders on the ground who are working to advance economic mobility within their communities.
Learn about how the Elevate Initiative, powered by Frontline Solutions, is actively learning from and responding to grantee partners, and how we’ve built a community and evolved to support grantees as they’ve leveraged new investment and told their stories in national publications. Learn more about the dynamic programs, organizations, and leaders who have taken part in the Elevate Initiative.
