How it works
Turn corporate responsibility from a cost line into a social investment and measurable advantage.
No open-ended commitments and no vague deliverables. Each stage has an owner, a timeline and a document you can circulate internally.
- 1
Scope the objective
We start with what the programme has to achieve for you: bid weighting, ESG disclosure, employee engagement, regional presence, or a combination.
- 2
Design the programme
We map your budget to a defined number of training places, mentoring hours and cohort locations, and agree the measurement method up front.
- 3
Confirm the sponsorship
You receive a costed proposal at Community Sponsor, Strategic Partner or Founding Corporate Sponsor level, with deliverables written down.
- 4
Deliver with your people
Cohorts run. Your employees mentor, judge and teach. Attendance, hours and outcomes are recorded as delivery happens, not reconstructed later.
- 5
Report and reuse
You get quarterly dashboards and an annual impact statement, with the calculation basis documented so bid and ESG teams can cite it directly.
The programme your sponsorship supports
Every sponsorship funds places on the 1001 Entrepreneurs programme: structured training, mentoring and practical support for underserved founders. See how your budget converts directly into funded places and evidenced outcomes.
