The campaign

Recruiting the first 100 Community Partners

Elves Across America is an independent, nationwide holiday movement of compassion. For the 2026 season we're inviting one hundred local businesses to become the first Community Partners in the country — the doors neighbors go looking for when they head out to find a little local magic.

Founding Community Partners help shape how the movement shows up locally: which Holiday Missions get backed, where Squads gather, and what the season's stories look like.

Founding enrollment opens for the 2026 season

We publish real enrollment numbers only once the season is underway. This bar is a status indicator, not a count of claimed spots.
