Life At Elevate

The Elevate staff is a fully remote workforce, but that doesn`t mean we can`t connect as a team! Every year, Elevate gathers staff for a virtual winter party! Virtual?? How is this possible, you might ask? Well, it`s thanks to our incredible Social Connections Committee 🥳

Before our Winter Break, the fine folks on the SCC put together an incredible activity-filled party with prizes and games. We are grateful to them for helping us to connect with our colleagues. #LifeAtElevate

That feeling when you submit the last grant of the calendar year 😮‍💨

Thank you to our colleague, Elizabeth Posner, for sharing this stunning photograph of her hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Enjoy the views ☺️ #LifeAtElevate

Our colleague, Taryn, is indeed feeling the holiday spirit (and the warmth) in her cozy and electric blue Elevate merch!

Thanks for rocking the company threads, Taryn 😊

Did you know that ❄️ December 1 ❄️ is not only the first day of (meteorological) winter, but it is also the start of the busiest charitable giving month of the year? 💰 According to Vanguard Charitable, as much as 30% of annual giving occurs in December!

What does year-end fundraising look like for your organization, and what is different for your team this year?

Today`s #LifeAtElevate is brought to you by Waylon, who simply CANNOT wait to express all his gratitude during the Thanksgiving break -- I, uh, mean holidays!

What are you excited for during this Thanksgiving?

How do you snack at work on your hump day?

When you`re in your drafting groove, it`s important to remember that you need your energy to stay focused -- especially during the end of the year when so many proposals and reports are due.

Stay hydrated, full, and happy folks! #LifeAtElevate

We had a blast in Baltimore at Grant Summit 2025 getting to know our amazing nonprofit colleagues across a wide variety of sectors and issue-areas. Thank you so much for connecting with us, attending our activity sessions, and being thought partners.

#Workviews sometimes takes you to places, high into the sky! 🏙️

#DeskOfTheDay #RemoteWork #LifeAtElevate

What do you include on your #RemoteWork desk?

Here`s our must-haves:

1) A second, large monitor
2) HDMI cable convertors (Elevate is an all macbook workforce!)
3) Lots of note pads
4) Lots of pencils, pens, and highlighters
5) POST-IT NOTES! Because Google Reminders, Calendar Alerts, and Desktop Stickies simply aren`t enough

Let us know what are your work-from-home essentials!

Enjoying the beautiful weather as we head into the last reaches of low summer ☀️

One perk of #RemoteWork is getting to change up the work desk every once in a while -- especially if it means taking advantage of fresh air and warm breezes 😊

#LifeAtElevate

From our colleague, Alix Rosenfeld @alixrose89:

"Perks of remote working: reviewing funder websites in paradise!"

Sometimes, you gotta get out of the house and coop up in a cozy coffeeshop... Thanks for sharing your #RemoteWork desk, Elizabeth Posner!

#LifeAtElevate

We are in awe of our colleague, Bethany Moore! 🌊

"During summer break, I discovered a new love for swimming laps! It`s amazing exercise for the whole body and something I will continue to be able to do because of Elevate`s flexible work environment!"

We`re so happy to see our colleagues hit those PRs while winning those hefty grants! Congratulations Bethany -- any tips on getting to 51 laps?? 😎

Okay, okay this isn`t a #workfromhome view, but it IS a view of Spain taken by our colleague, Jessica Culverhouse (@jesschouse), who snapped this shot on her sabbatical!

Elevate offers sabbaticals for eligible employees to rejuvenate, pursue skills and crafts, or experience an adventure of a lifetime! It`s just a small perk for our amazing staff who continue to wow us every day.

#LifeAtElevate

What we`re always trying to do 😊

#LifeAtElevate

(Thank you to our colleague, Jessica Culverhouse @jesschouse , for sharing this serene shot on her sabbatical.)

It`s the first Monday after #ElevateSummerBreak and some of us are still mentally in that beautiful sunsoaked paradise reading a good book...

...And some of us are still there literally because our vacation policy can stack on top of the annual break! 😂

#LifeAtElevate

It`s time to get out and explore! 🌳

Seeing Elevators meet up IRL always brings us joy. How does your #RemoteWorkforce find ways to connect in person?

(thank you to Nanu Gelda and Jaime Roscoe for the photo)
#LifeAtElevate

#LifeAtElevate means taking working calls from your local library to take full advantage of their summer programming!

🎉

After all the rain and foggy weather, the moment there`s sunlight our Elevators head outside to catch some rays while they work!

We`re looking forward to summer, to say the least 😆

Have you ever worked outside? 🌳
