About Elliott Doward

Elliott Doward is a family office based in Durham, NC, dedicated to Whole Regenerative Stewardship. We empower individuals and collectives to discover, develop, and flourish — architecting system-level change that creates environments where life and legacy can thrive.

Empowering People to Prosper

We Empower Individuals and Collectives

Our purpose is to support individuals and collectives discover, develop, unfold and flourish their identities, purpose, destinies, and legacies. We do that first by architecting system level change and transformation that creates environments conducive to Whole Regenerative Systems.

Lauri Elliott — Founder & CEO

Our Legacy

The Elliott Doward legacy starts with Elmer Elliott and Alyce Marie Elliott (Doward) who faithfully served God and people. They have a legacy of love and sacrifice not only for their family, friends, and local community, but for the entire world. Many years ago, Alyce Elliott wrote The King’s Pledge for Peace which epitomizes the journey they walked all their lives. We need more people like them in the world today.

The King’s Pledge for Peace

I promise to remember that peace begins with me.

I promise to remember that all people should be free.

No matter what others do, I will stand for what is right.

And fight all injustices with every bit of my might!

With all my power and strength, I promise to do my best

To give violence and hatred an eternal grave of rest.

I promise to remember the teachings of Christ the King.

I promise to remember the peace my love can bring.

— Matthew 5:9  ·  James 3:17  ·  Isaiah 58:6–12  ·  Hebrews 12:14  ·  Philippians 4:6–7
