Idaho's Premiere Social Justice Consulting Agency
What is A Social Enterprise- and How Elevate Empire is redefining It in Idaho.
Author: Aide Samatha Moore with editorial assistance with AI research tools
In a world where nonprofits fight for funding and for-profits chase profit margins, a new model is rising in between - one that marries purpose and sustainability. It's called a social enterprise.
And in Idaho, that movement has a name: Elevate Empire.
A social enterprise is a business that uses commercial strategies to maximize social impact, not just profit. Unlike traditional nonprofits that rely solely on grants or donations, social enterprises generate revenue through products or services - then reinvest those earnings into their mission.
Think of it as doing good, sustainably.
Founded on the belief that lived experience in one of society's most underutilized assets, Elevate Empire operates as a hybrid social enterprise.
Currently, it combines two branches - Elevate Nation LLC, Idaho's premiere social justice consulting agency, and Elevate Your Community, it's philanthropic arm.
Together, they form a sustainable ecosystem where consulting revenue fuels community projects, students stipends, and awareness campaigns - turning advocacy into action and experience into expertise.
How We Support The Community:
From developing independent living curricula for anyone to organizing statewide art galleries that raise awareness about human trafficking, Elevate Empire channels every project toward a single goal: Systemic reform led by those with lived experience.
Since its funding, the organization has collaborated with five universities and colleges, trained over a dozen student inters, and reached more than 200 Idaho and Oregon residents through community-based education and engagement events.
Through Their Eyes - a traveling art gallery educating communities on trafficking prevention.
E360 Reentry That Works - a curriculum written by college students for justice-involved youth.
Authentic Engagement Consulting - advising agencies on how to include lived experience in policy design.
As state and national systems grapple with how to rebuild trust, Elevate Empire is showing what's possible when those most impacted by the system help lead its reform.
It's not charity - it's collaboration.
It's not philanthropy - it's partnership and reinvestment.
It's the future of sustainable change, built right here in Idaho.
Whether you're a student, policymaker, or community advocate, there's a place for you at Elevate Empire.
