Operation HOPE
In 2015, Elevate made a commitment to financial dignity leader Operation HOPE, Inc. (HOPE) to support current recovery efforts following severe storms and flooding in Texas. We are working directly with HOPE Coalition America (HCA), HOPE’s financial disaster preparedness and recovery division, to aid in the financial recovery for residents and small businesses affected by the 2015 storms and flooding in Austin and Houston, Texas in addition to tornadoes in Van, Texas.
HOPE Coalition America directly partners with FEMA and the American Red Cross and responds to emergencies across the country. In addition to post-disaster response, HCA also promotes pre-disaster preparedness through seminars and workshops to promote disaster preparedness. As a whole, Operation HOPE has helped 2.5 million individuals with the help of more than 20,000 volunteers, and distributed more than $1.5 billion in private capital, since it was founded in 1992.

Tarrant Area Food Bank
Each year, Elevate supports Tarrant County’s own Tarrant Area Food Bank through a “ride for kids” and an annual summer raffle for employees. All proceeds from these activities go directly to Tarrant Area Food Bank to help children and adults in need of nutritional aid.
