LPA-BEYOND: BECAUSE THE WORK DOESN’T STOP
Awareness days, weeks and months are valuable for spotlighting important issues, but real change demands year-round—and often nonstop—effort.
That’s why we created LPA-BEYOND, our pro bono program, to provide deeper support to organizations beyond one-time events.
Each year, LPA staff, along with LPA-certified coaches, volunteer their time and resources to organizations tackling critical issues. These include the arts, community, health and safety, environmentalism, equity, peace, justice and antiracism—causes we’re committed to as a public benefit corporation.
Organizations of any size may apply, though we particularly encourage small and start-up groups to take advantage of this opportunity. Keep in mind that organizations must, in some way, be working to amplify voices of lived experience in order to reach their goals or achieve their missions. Selection is by lottery, though with an eye toward geographic diversity.
In 2026 our focus will be ON organizations working within or alongside disability communities to amplify the voices of people with disabilities in pursuit of policy change, greater visibility or social equity.
Watch this space for 2026 applications opening in the summer.
In 2025, we focused on organizations taking climate action—any action. That includes working on environmental justice, climate resilience, sustainable development or climate equity. Actions local, global, big and small.
“Living Proof Advocacy did a wonderful workshop for members of our community. An excellent presentation, very engaging and succinct. With these new skills we will be able to prepare our advocates better and make sure that we are actually conveying the messages we want. Thank you!”
