We believe that our responsibility is not just to respond to need — but to invest in the futures of those who are often overlooked. From children in unstable regions to young talents without access to mentorship or opportunity, we champion people and communities who are ready to rise. Our mission is to accompany them — not with temporary solutions, but with long-term frameworks for growth, protection, and dignity.
Our Vision
We envision a future where support is not something given out of guilt or obligation, but shared with humility and purpose. Where ecosystems are cared for, not exploited. Where vulnerable children are not pitied, but empowered. Where giving means building lasting infrastructure — physical, emotional, and social — that allows individuals and environments to flourish.

Our story
Founded by Nick and Olga Leventis, the Uprising Foundation is the culmination of years spent in the field — not just observing, but actively supporting people in need across the globe.
What began as personal acts of giving evolved into something far greater: a conviction that philanthropy should not be distant or transactional, but deeply rooted in genuine human connection. For them, impact isn’t measured in headlines or handouts, but in the quiet, steady work of creating opportunity — one child, one project, one life at a time.
At its core, the Uprising Foundation is founded on a simple yet powerful philosophy: genuine change stems from presence, participation, and purpose.This is not charity performed from afar. It’s change, side by side — with communities, not for them. A movement that replaces ego with empathy, and short-term aid with lasting, dignity-led transformation.
Every act matters. No gesture is too small. Whether you give your time, voice, or donation, you’re helping to build a better world.
