Ellevate Louisiana

What Ellevate Louisiana does

Ellevate Louisiana is a non-partisan policy organization founded in 2020 to empower women leaders throughout the state of Louisiana. Its mission is to connect and educate women leaders on challenges facing the state and to advocate for data-driven, non-partisan solutions. The organization structures its work around five standing policy committees: Early Education & K-12, Environment & Infrastructure, Healthcare, Taxation & Economic Development, and Workforce & Higher Education. It also runs a mentorship program, member editorials, videocasts and podcasts, newsletters, and recurring events such as the Legislative Leadership Conference, Day at the Legislature, LegisGator, and Washington Mardi Gras. Membership is open to women leaders across government, healthcare, education, business, and nonprofit sectors, with sustaining-member and mentorship tiers in addition to general membership.

The organization's underlying technology is the GrowthZone membership management platform, which powers member login, the member directory, sustaining-member listings, and the event calendar. Beyond GrowthZone, no proprietary technology, patents, or integrations are disclosed. The website links to a Zeffy donation form for one-off contributions, indicating use of a third-party donation platform in addition to GrowthZone.

Ellevate Louisiana's revenue model is supported by two streams: annual membership fees (a recurring subscription model covering member login, directory access, sustaining-member benefits, and mentorship program access) and donations processed through Zeffy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization's go-to-market is community-led, relying on membership recruitment, advocacy initiatives, policy committees, mentorship, events, and digital content (videocasts, podcasts, newsletters, social media) to reach and engage women leaders across Louisiana. The geographic scope is limited to Louisiana, with no disclosed expansion outside the state.

Direct peers

• League of Women Voters of Louisiana: State-level chapter of a national non-partisan civic organization that engages citizens, including women leaders, in policy education, voter education, and advocacy. Directly comparable as a non-partisan Louisiana-based civic/policy membership organization.
• National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO): Membership organization for women business owners that provides networking, advocacy, and leadership development at national and chapter levels. Comparable as a women-focused, chapter-based membership and advocacy organization.
• Women in Government: Nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of women state legislators that promotes policy dialogue and leadership development. Comparable to Ellevate Louisiana because it combines women-focused leadership development with nonpartisan policy engagement.
• American Association of University Women (AAUW): National nonprofit advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, and research, with state and local chapters. Comparable to Ellevate Louisiana in mission (women's empowerment, policy advocacy) and chapter-based membership structure.

Regional players

• Women's Foundation of the South: Regional foundation investing in women and girls across the U.S. South, including Louisiana, through grantmaking and policy work. Comparable as a Southern U.S. women's policy and equity organization, though foundation-funded rather than membership-funded.
• Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus: Louisiana-specific caucus of women legislators engaged in state policy. Comparable as a Louisiana-focused women-in-government body, though caucus-based rather than independent nonprofit.
• Power Women of Louisiana: Regional recognition program celebrating influential women across Louisiana business, civic, and community leadership. Comparable audience (high-profile Louisiana women leaders) and recognition/engagement approach.

Emerging players

• Higher Heights for America: National organization building the political power and leadership of Black women through civic engagement, policy advocacy, and leadership development. Comparable as a women-centered leadership and policy advocacy organization.
• Emerge America: Organization that recruits, trains, and supports Democratic women to run for office at state and local levels. Comparable in its focus on developing women leaders into policy roles, though partisan where Ellevate is nonpartisan.

Broad incumbents

• National Women's Law Center: Established national nonprofit that advocates for policy changes affecting women and girls across education, healthcare, workplace, and economic security. Comparable policy areas and nonpartisan-leaning advocacy approach, but national rather than regional.
