Innovate Ohio: Collaborating for Education
We cannot develop this initiative alone. Corporations, foundations, and other entities interested in innovation, economic development, and workforce development are needed to help us expand invention education across Ohio.
Our sponsors are committed community-focused corporate, government, and private sector charitable partners who want to ensure that invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship education impacts everyone, from the underserved to rural to urban K-12 students. Sponsors contribute funding, in-kind resources, products, services, mentors, judges, connections, and many other important elements to power our programs and participation.
We are actively seeking business and community partners to help with:
Sponsoring classrooms.
Becoming classroom mentors.
Obtaining venues for events.
Sponsorships for events.
Judging events.
Sponsoring student travel expenses to attend state and national competitions.
Specifically our sponsors help us through:
Operating Funds:
Every little bit helps. We have a variety of sponsor packages, from general year-round support, event sponsorship, tactical sponsorship that supports future leaders in specific industries, strategic sponsorships, and signature sponsorships.
Employee Engagement:
OIL is always seeking mentors and judges for our programs. By mentoring or serving as judges, your employees can inspire our student inventors by introducing them to a variety of career paths! OIL provides training and support to help your employees make an impact. Whether you’re an engineer, a marketing professional, an intellectual property attorney, a first responder, or any other experienced professional, OIL’s student inventors look up to YOU for inspiration!
Outreach:
Help OIL find other entities who can join our invention education ecosystem! 70% of our fundraising work is getting that first meeting with a leader or decision maker from your company or organization.
We would love the opportunity to share our amazing student success stories and their impact on local, state, and global advances in the environmental, technology, and workforce-based fields. Please contact us to learn more about how you and your company can make a life-lasting difference for young innovators near you!
Community support is required to make Ohio Invention League a reality! We are so grateful to our community of heroes!
