Eleva Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Eleva Foundation aims to relieve the needs of children worldwide who are living in poverty, lack access to education, or have been affected by disaster or humanitarian crisis, and its themes are sustainable development, child rights and policy, and emergency relief, so work in those areas is the best test of fit.
- Its stated geographic focus is worldwide, but no grant range is stated, so the size of request that is realistic is not shown.
- Its support is channelled through UNICEF projects, and its ELEVA Capital team is involved in selecting them, so a request should show how your work connects to that.
- No application process is published, so start with the contact shown, which is for getting in touch.
- Organisations whose work does not relieve these needs should not apply, because eligibility is limited to charities and other organisations working to relieve them.
