POV: You’re a social impact leader and see your name in lights in Times Square

Visibility matters. Earlier this month, we took over a billboard in Times Square - an iconic space typically occupied by brands and celebrities - and featured 10 incredible leaders working to change the world, our 2024 Elevate Prize winners.
Two of these changemakers, Daniel Forkkio and Melissa Malzkuhn joined us in Times Square to experience the moment in person.
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.
