TABLE OF CONTENTS

Carolina García Jayaram, who’s among the 1% of philanthropic Latino leaders, is an unstoppable force in the nonprofit sector. As founding CEO of the Elevate Prize Foundation, her core belief in the power of activism to create positive movements in our society propelled her to pursue an altruistic career. With over two decades of experience operating nonprofits, she focuses on helping community members and leaders with mentorship, strategic planning, fundraising and more. In addition, she is the founding ambassador of the Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security, a member of Fast Company’s Impact Council, an emeritus board member of Guitars Over Guns and the newly appointed co-chair of the University of Miami School of Law’s LL.M. Program in Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law.

Meditation, journaling and coffee, in that order, followed by taking my boys to school with my husband—the highlight of my day.

Pranayama breathing.

“May I be filled with loving kindness. May I be well. May I be peaceful and at ease. May I be happy.” I then repeat it directed to others. I love to cultivate what Buddha called “universal friendliness toward oneself and others.”

Reading.

The greatest innovation and problem-solving is happening in the nonprofit space. At Elevate, we see this firsthand on a daily basis across our Elevate Prize winners, who are all at the cutting edge of using innovation to quite literally save the world. From piloting AI to solving diseases to designing technologies to stopping plastic from going into the ocean and so much more, creativity and innovation play a larger role in social impact than people think.
