ABOUT US

At Elevate Her Global Foundation, we believe every girl has the potential to lead, grow, and thrive when given the right opportunities and support.

Our work is rooted in creating meaningful experiences that build confidence, strengthen resilience, and inspire a strong sense of self. We recognize that true development goes beyond sport, which is why we focus on supporting the whole individual, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

Through our core pillars of Academics, Athletics, and Advocacy, we take a holistic approach to youth development. By integrating these areas, we equip girls with the skills, knowledge, and leadership abilities they need to succeed in the classroom, on the court, and in their communities.

Using basketball as a catalyst, we create spaces where girls can challenge themselves, build confidence, and develop a sense of belonging. Through mentorship and intentional programming, we support each participant in discovering her voice and embracing her full potential.

At Elevate Her Global Foundation, we are building more than athletes. We are developing confident, resilient, and purpose-driven leaders.

  • We empower girls to thrive on and off the court through Academics, Athletics and Advocacy, using basketball as a catalyst for growth beyond the game.


  • Academics: Growth & Confidence Through Learning

    We believe in the power of education to unlock potential. Through intentional programming and workshops, we encourage continuous learning, academic confidence, and the development of life skills that support success in the classroom and beyond.

    Athletics: Empowerment Through Basketball

    Through basketball, we build confidence, resilience, and discipline. Our programs and on-court experiences empower girls to believe in their abilities, push past challenges, and grow both as athletes and individuals.

    Advocacy: Leadership & Equity in Action

    We are committed to amplifying the voices of young women and creating equitable opportunities. Through workshops, mentorship, and leadership development programming, we equip girls to advocate for themselves and others while making a meaningful impact in their communities.

    Community: Connection & Belonging

    We foster a supportive and inclusive environment where every girl feels seen, valued, and connected. Through shared experiences, programming, and community-based initiatives, we create spaces where lasting relationships and a sense of belonging can grow.

  • Elevate Her Global Foundation was founded by Daneesha Provo and Aliyah Fraser, two leaders brought together by a shared passion for empowering young women through basketball and beyond.

    Daneesha Provo, a former member of the Canadian Women’s National Basketball Team and NCAA Division I athlete at the University of Utah, has dedicated her career to using basketball as a platform for growth, education, and opportunity. Born and raised in North Preston, Nova Scotia, she has remained deeply committed to giving back to her community and creating pathways for young female athletes to succeed both on and off the court.

    Aliyah Fraser, a former U SPORTS athlete, AUS Champion, Academic All-Canadian and youth basketball coach, has built her journey on leadership, academic excellence, and community impact. Recognized for both her performance and service—including receiving the prestigious The King Charles III Coronation Medal and Sylvia Sweeney Community Service Award. Aliyah brings a deep understanding of what it means to lead with purpose and inspire the next generation.

    Together, their experiences as athletes, mentors, and leaders highlighted a critical need: more spaces where young women and girls feel supported, empowered, and equipped to succeed in all areas of life.

    What began as a shared vision has grown into a movement.

    Elevate Her Global Foundation was created to bridge the gap between sport and personal development. Providing young women with access to mentorship, education, and leadership opportunities through the game of basketball. Rooted in Academics, Athletics, and Advocacy, the foundation is committed to developing confident, resilient, and purpose-driven leaders.

    At its core, Elevate Her is about more than basketball. It is about creating opportunities, building confidence, and empowering girls to step into their full potential. On the court, in the classroom, and in their communities.
