Elaine provides vital transportation for underserved communities ORGANIZATION Elaine LEADERSHIP Founder: Vivienne Gellert CEO: Eric Barr ANNUAL BUDGET $330,000 Changing Lives One Ride at a Time CHARITY SPOTLIGHT Origin Elaine is the brainchild of Vivienne Gellert, who created the organization when she was a pre-med student at Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions. She noticed emergency rooms were filled with people who didn’t know how to access timely and appropriate care, so she created Elaine as Arizona’s first health navigation and transportation system for those experiencing homelessness. The organization is named after Elaine Herzberg, a woman experiencing homelessness who was struck and killed by a self-driving vehicle in Tempe. CEO Eric Barr is passionate about providing a door-to-door service that helps people make, get to and check in at appointments. In fiscal year 2022, Elaine provided 3,985 rides to 820 people in connection to 2,619 critical resources and services. FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 73
