About Us

 
 

Elevate | Uplift, supported by a collective of national organizations leading anti-sexual violence work, is built on the foundation of lessons learned from the Sexual Assault Demonstration Initiative, a multi-year national project that helped community-based organizations strengthen services for survivors of sexual violence.

Elevate | Uplift deepens and broadens that work by offering survivor-serving organizations the opportunity to explore these lessons learned with us.

  • We engage with organizations to change practices and expand their understanding of healing.

  • We offer learning opportunities to help survivor-serving agencies think critically about how they do their work and make the changes necessary to provide comprehensive and sustainable support for survivors.

  • We offer opportunities for organizations to establish practices and services rooted in anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks, learn strategies for building empowering leadership, create intentional organizational identity, engage in impactful community organizing and movement building, and expand knowledge of sexual violence and healing.
