Partnership

Open a door with us

Access is a network problem before it is a money problem. Funders, employers, schools, faith communities, and nonprofits each hold a piece of what our participants need — here is how those pieces plug in.

Ways to partner

Four concrete entry points. Pick the one that matches what you have.

01

Sponsor a cohort

Underwrite an entire program cohort — travel, curriculum, mentors, and materials — with named recognition throughout the experience.

02

Fund scholarship seats

Designate gifts directly to youth travel scholarships or partner-supported leadership retreats for participants who could not otherwise attend.

03

Open your hiring pipeline

Interview Takeoff Careers participants, host site visits, or send professionals to mentor inside our cohorts.

04

Back a small business

Fund Takeoff Business Lab grants, or provide technical expertise, buyer access, and advisory hours to participant-owned businesses.

Mission-aligned
partners

We do not run every program ourselves. Some of the best work happens when independent organizations bring their expertise and we help fund access, promotion, and participant connections.
