Sponsor something specific.
We do not sell naming rights or put logos on kids' work. We do let you pay for a thing, and then we tell you exactly what it did.

What we will not sell
- Naming rights to a program, a room, or a site. The Void is the Void because a kid named it.
- Logos on kids' work, t-shirts, or the almanac.
- Access to kids or families. No photographs, no testimonials from kids about your company, no data.
- Exclusivity. We will not promise you are the only bank, barber, or engineering firm.
Team volunteering
A corporate team can do a Saturday lab, a repair clinic, the bike giveaway, or a build day. We ask for two visits: the first one working alongside staff, the second one led by kids. The second visit is the one people remember, and it is not optional.
Why companies give
The honest answers, in order: their employees asked them to; they want a relationship with a neighborhood they operate in; the salon gives them a genuinely good story; and one CFO has a kid who went here. Nobody has ever given because of a pitch deck, which is why we do not have one.
The best corporate partner we have sends twelve engineers every spring and lets the kids run the second visit. Nobody from that company has ever asked to be in a photograph.
Talk to development
Sponsorship levels, in-kind needs, and what we will not sell. One conversation, no deck.
