MicrosoftMicrosoft Elevate is a global initiative designed to empower mission-driven organizations and individuals to thrive in the AI-powered economy. Launched this year, Elevate brings together and expands the work previously delivered through Microsoft Philanthropies and the Tech for Social Impact team. It combines technology support, donations, sales, and skilling programs for schools, community colleges, nonprofits, and historically underserved and underrepresented communities. At its core, Elevate puts people first, helping ensure that artificial intelligence enhances human potential and expands opportunities for impact and innovation.
