Four DRK Entrepreneurs Named 2026 Elevate Prize Winners

Included are For The People, Karya, Shamiri Institute, and Adalat AI.

The Elevate Prize Foundation announced the 2026 Elevate Prize winners, honoring social impact leaders accelerating transformative change around the world. Each organization will receive $300,000 in funding along with tailored support — amplifying their work, increasing their reach, and helping Make Good Famous by inspiring broader engagement in social change.

We’re proud to celebrate four DRK entrepreneurs named among this year’s awardees: Hillary Blout (For The People), Manu Chopra (Karya), Tom Osborn (Shamiri), and Utkarsh Saxena (Adalat AI). Across the US, India, and Africa, these exceptional leaders are advancing legal justice, expanding access to dignified employment, and strengthening mental health care for communities too often overlooked.

Congratulations to all of the 2026 recipients, who are solving the world’s most critical challenges at a time when it’s never been needed more.
