Businesses & funders
Sponsor a program
Underwrite a semester of Power Hour, a Books to Barbers school site, or the Youth Business Fair. Sponsors get named on program materials and a year-end impact report.
Partnerships · Tampa Bay
Build it with us,
not for us.
Every Black N Tampa program runs with a local partner — Sligh Middle School, Erwin Tech barbers, the HOPE Center, FAMU Psychology, USIU-Africa. If you've got a room, a budget, a roster, or a skill, there's a lane for you.
Ways to partner
Four doors into the work.
Schools & districts
Host a site
Bring Power Hour tutoring or the Books to Barbers literacy pilot to your campus. We handle curriculum, volunteers, and reporting; you provide the space and the students.
Nonprofits & clinics
Co-run a program
Like the HOPE Center garden and the FAMU Psychology partnership behind Rooted & Well — shared programming, shared credit, shared data.
In-kind & vendors
Give goods or services
Books, garden supplies, barber chairs, printing, venue space, legal or accounting help. In-kind gifts come with an acknowledgment letter for your records.
How we work together.
- A 20-minute intro call — no deck required.
- One named point of contact on each side.
- A clear season or term, so we can measure what happened.
- Permission to name you publicly (or not — your call).
Connect
Schedule a partnership meeting.
Tell us who you are and pick a window that works. We hold 20-minute intro calls each week and reply within two business days with a confirmation and a video link.
- Founder-led — you're talking to Charlea, not a form inbox.
- Bring questions, not a proposal. We'll shape the scope together.
- Tampa Bay in person, or virtual anywhere.
