Social entrepreneurs are unique leaders who work in communities where people earn less than 2 US dollars per day. They fight poverty through job and skills training versus giving handouts—essentially, they teach people how to fish versus just giving the fish. These changemakers empower people to lift themselves to a better way of life, offer a way to cut ties with human trafficking and slave labor, and show love versus talk about it.

Sponsorship directly supports social entrepreneurs who are creating sustainable economic development in communities where people earn less than $2 per day. These entrepreneurs fight poverty through job training and skills development rather than handouts.

You can create meaningful change without leaving home. Your sponsorship represents "teaching a man to fish" in action, addressing systemic poverty rather than applying temporary solutions. The impact is exponential, and you don't need to renew your passport to make a difference.

In developing nations, every dollar makes a significant impact. Due to currency differences, $100 USD can have the purchasing power equivalent to $1,000 in many parts of Africa and South/Southeast Asia. Even small contributions can be pooled to fund training events, virtual conferences, student travel, or essential equipment like sewing machines.

98% of proceeds go directly to social entrepreneurs, either for training programs or to service providers who are social entrepreneurs themselves.

Your donation will positively impact at least this many people:

• $1200 = 25 people ~ sowing seeds of hope and opportunity
• $3600 = 61 people ~ fostering self-reliance and prosperity
• $4500 = 104 people ~ magnifying the ripple effect of empowerment

Your sponsorship provides access to the Avant-garde Entrepreneur Academy®—a transformative program where social entrepreneurs learn to tap into the superpower of their spirit to get refreshed in their mind, certain of their mission, and inspired in their business. It includes small group mentoring, business coaching, a private community, and an online course website. We're serving social entrepreneurs in over 30 nations! The Academy helps these changemakers overcome business burnout so they can continue transforming lives.

You'll receive:

• Before & After experience videos
• Video calls with a Sponsor Liaison (a social entrepreneur)
• The knowledge that you're making a multi-generation impact—empowering changemakers to create more jobs, increase trainees' self-confidence and income, and lift kids and grandparents out of poverty
• Global exposure for your brand, including social shout-outs, if desired*
• Impact copy & graphics for your website*
  (*Optional for businesses)

Absolutely! Businesses can receive additional benefits including global exposure for your brand with social shout-outs and impact copy & graphics for your website. This is a wonderful way to demonstrate your company's commitment to global social responsibility without creating your own program from scratch.

A typical sponsorship covers a social entrepreneur's participation in the 6-week Avant-garde Entrepreneur Academy® plus monthly follow-up coaching for a full year. This sustained support is crucial because lasting transformation takes time. Your impact continues long after the initial training as these entrepreneurs implement what they've learned.

Yes! We facilitate video calls with your sponsored entrepreneur through our Sponsor Liaison program. This gives you the opportunity to hear firsthand about their work, challenges, and successes. Many sponsors find these connections to be incredibly rewarding and inspiring.

Social enterprises balance the dual primary objectives of people and profit. They must generate profit for long-term viability while being environmentally conscious and caring for the emotional and spiritual needs of their staff. This approach creates sustainable change because it addresses systemic issues rather than applying temporary solutions. With a greater than 95% effectiveness rate at changing lives and increasing family income, social enterprise job & life skills training programs deliver lasting results.

These changemakers, often between 22-35 years old, face incredible pressure. They come to us wanting desperately to make an impact, but feeling isolated and overwhelmed. They're conflicted about sharing their story while protecting their beneficiaries, and overwhelmed by life, needs, family, team, and business demands. Our program helps them overcome business burnout so they can continue changing the world—no perfection, business degree, or grind required.

Please consult with your tax advisor about the deductibility of your contribution based on your specific circumstances and location. We'd be happy to provide any documentation you need for tax purposes.

Every contribution makes a difference! If you can't sponsor a full scholarship, we can pool your donation with others to create opportunities for social entrepreneurs. Remember, even small amounts have significant buying power in the communities where these entrepreneurs work.
