Our Story

In September 2025, Elevate Our Kids becomes Elevate Communities. After thoughtful consideration and intensive planning, Elevate Our Kids is officially becoming Elevate Communities. Elevating communities by using technology-driven innovation to prepare communities, support recovery, and build a more resilient future.

Why the Change?
When we first began during the Covid pandemic, our mission focused on providing technology to students so K-12 students could have the tools to learn and thrive and due to so many kids being forced to stay at home for schooling. Thanks to your support, numerous students have been impacted.

As our work grew, we saw an even greater need -  families, schools, and entire communities need resources, not just kids. To meet this need, our mission is expanding.

Our New Mission
Under our new name, Elevate Communities, our mission is to:

Elevate communities when they need it most - before, during, and after disasters, emergencies, and moments of uncertainty - by harnessing the power of technology and innovation to strengthen preparedness, support recovery, and build lasting resiliency through hope, connection, and practical action.

In short: we’re broadening our reach to elevate opportunity for all.

What Stays the Same?

  • Our passion for serving people.

  • Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (your donations remain tax-deductible).

  • Our commitment to transparency, stewardship, and impact.

What’s New?

  • A new name and website: ElevateCommunities.org

  • Expanded programs that go beyond technology for kids, to support whole families and communities from preparedness to recovery to resilience.
