Participant Selection

In December 2023, 200 Elevate Boulder participants were selected through a random lottery process.

People who were not selected through the lottery will not participate in the project and will not receive direct financial assistance through Elevate Boulder.

Direct Financial Assistance

Project participants began receiving bi-monthly payments of $250 ($500 per month) in January 2024. These payments will continue through January 2026.

Elevate Boulder Participant Information

Congratulations to the 200 Boulder community members selected for this project! Here are some resources that we hope will help ensure you have a good experience.

  1. Read the participant information packet in English or Spanish to meet the Elevate Boulder team and find answers to frequently asked questions about the project, payments and the evaluation process. The packet also includes information about potential impacts to public benefits.
    1. This packet was available throughout the project enrollment process and was also mailed in English and Spanish to each participant. If you need the information in Nepali or any other language, please contact the project at support@elevateboulder.aidkit.org or by phone at 720-713-7495.
  2. Watch for opportunities to participate in project evaluation. Project consultants with OMNI Institute will reach out to people who agreed to participate in evaluation, in the spring and summer of 2024 with instructions for how to complete an evaluation survey. There will also be opportunities for participants to share about their experience through storytelling.
