We Lift Orlando | Lifting Orlando Together
On November 6, 2025, during the 2nd Annual Love is Local Summit, Lift Orlando will officially launch We Lift Orlando — a bold, region-wide movement to invest in the people and places that make our city stronger. Running through the end of 2026, this campaign represents the next chapter in our mission to create thriving neighborhoods and a more equitable Orlando for all.
We Lift Orlando is not just a fundraising effort—it’s a community transformation strategy. Rooted in partnership and driven by measurable results, this campaign is about aligning civic, corporate, and community leadership to lift entire neighborhoods. It’s about building a future where every child, every family, and every block in Central Florida has the opportunity to rise.
The importance of this work extends far beyond a single zip code. When our neighborhoods thrive, our city changes for the better—from stronger schools and safer streets to healthier families and a more resilient regional economy. Through collaborative investment and resident-led solutions, we are creating lasting transformation that uplifts people, revitalizes communities, and strengthens our shared prosperity.
The results in West Lakes show what’s possible. Since Lift Orlando began this work alongside residents and business leaders, child poverty in the neighborhood has dropped by 34%, and children are rising out of poverty four-times faster than the county average. Household income has increased by more than $10,000, and over 1,000 children have been served through early learning programs that set them on the path to success. These outcomes prove that when we lift together, we rise together.
Through the We Lift Orlando campaign, we invite businesses, foundations, and neighbors from across Central Florida to join us in sustaining and expanding this success. Together, we can scale what works—strengthening more neighborhoods, empowering more families, and building a region where opportunity isn’t defined by your zip code.
Join us at the Love is Local Summit on November 6 and pledge to be a partner in the We Lift Orlando movement. Together, we can lift our neighborhoods, lift our children, and lift our city—because when we lift together, we transform our region. The time to act is now.
