Our Community Programs
Partnering with the Community to Ignite Innovation
Since 2012, our programs have touched over 3,000 community members!
Elevating Equity
Elevating Equity was initiated by the Grand
Victoria Foundation with the belief that the most
powerful solutions to community issues can and should
come from those facing those issues in their daily lives.
Elevating Equity is a unique grant opportunity focused
on supporting innovative and impactful, grassroots-led
projects addressing systemic inequity, including racial
inequity in Elgin.
