Now in its sixth edition, the Elevate Prize aims to “amplify impact, inspire others, and make good famous.” The award honors individuals and organizations creating meaningful change in their communities and beyond. Among this year’s 20 finalists are projects from countries including Afghanistan, Kenya, Uganda, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Winners will be announced in early 2026.
According to Flávia Pellegrino, this international recognition highlights the collective power behind the coalition’s work:
“Pacto pela Democracia inspires Brazil and the world by proving that unity, courage, and creativity can transform fear into resistance and resistance into hope. Our mission is clear: not only to defend democracy, but to make it grow stronger every day.”
With its nomination for the Elevate Prize 2026, Pacto joins a global network of initiatives demonstrating that civic engagement, solidarity, and hope are transformative forces in Brazil and around the world.
