“Zaya, this is for you” Dwyane Wade Announces New Initiative, Translatable, While Accepting Award

We were honored to grant the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award to NBA hall of famer and proud dad, Dwyane Wade. His advocacy for the transgender community and for his work with the Wade Family Foundation inspired us.
While accepting the award, Dwyane announced the launch of Translatable, a digital platform that will provide educational tools for the family and friends of trans youth, and a community safe space for them to express themselves.
We’re proud to support this life-changing work and to welcome Dwyane and the Translatable team in the Elevate family!
The Elevate Prize Foundation is a global nonprofit that empowers social entrepreneurs and activists by providing them with the resources they need to amplify their impact. The Foundation’s signature program is its annual Elevate Prize, which is awarded to 10 or more global leaders tackling pressing issues in innovative ways. The Elevate Prize Catalyst Award, another one of the Foundation’s programs, recognizes prominent individuals for their commitment to inspiring global social action and using their influence for the good of humanity. In 2022, the Foundation launched the Elevate Prize GET LOUD Award, a monthly grant to fuel grassroots movements and organizers on the frontlines committed to collective action and building power among communities.
