Partnership Opportunity Research
Project details
What we need
- A list of potential corporations or foundations to target for a specific partnership or grant opportunity
- Recommendations on the best point of contact / entry point for each corporation or foundation
What we have in place
- We currently have a partnership deck with clear partner opportunities/benefits, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated person who will manage the partnership process, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,908 , allowing us to create more career content to expose, inspire and educate diverse students to more careers out there!
The success of our organization depends on attracting corporate partners passionate about diversity. Without your help, we cannot effectively find and solidify these corporate partners. Your skills will empower us to find the entry point for a corporate partner/foundation.

Co-Founder / Executive Director, Gladeo
Our mission
Gladeo is a digital media non-profit fostering career exploration for young people from diverse backgrounds. We are dedicated to inspiring and helping young people discover, navigate and achieve their dream careers by creating innovative multimedia career content and distributing it online (through the web and social media) and offline (through school counselors and our career exploration workshop).
What we do
We created a "Virtual Career Day", an online portal where guidance counselors and students can learn about the vast array of careers from our ever-growing library of content.
Our content is Inspirational: The challenge with non-celebrity careers is that the people who do them and their success stories (and they do exist) are less flashy and don't get blasted across social media, and as a result, the inspiration they could have sparked doesn't spread. Gladeo shares inspiring career stories (written and video) of diverse individuals to breakdown stereotypes, to open eyes to new opportunities, and to inspire people to believe that their aspirations are achievable. "You need to see it, to believe it."
Our content is Informational: We take a personal and action-oriented approach, gathering first-hand, practical knowledge directly from actively working professionals, not just information downloaded from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We also include non-linear career tracks that don't follow an easily navigable path. We include information like what they need to be doing in high school and college to prepare, what classes they need to be taking, what trade magazines to start reading, what educational institutions have the best programs, how to land that first foot in the door and more.
Gladeo gives school counselors the resources they need to inspire and expose their students to the vast world of possibilities, not just the ones in their community and to empower their students to make informed decisions about their future.

Working with Gladeo and Michelle, in particular, was a great experience! The firm has a great mission and vision to progress towards equality in opportunity in the United States. I sincerely hope that Gladeo succeeds in achieving all the objectives that it sets forth.
