Cover one group's place for a year.

Sponsorship covers one group’s access to the Mission tier for twelve months, plus their set-up and support. It is specific and it is countable — you are not funding a general pot.

What the group gets

The Mission tier for twelve months, a live set-up session, and support. Renewable.

What the group pays

Nothing. You cover the whole discounted rate.

What you get back

The name of the group you covered, confirmation their workspace is running, and a note at twelve months telling you whether they renewed. Nothing dressed up.

What we never do with your money

Pass it to a group as cash. This programme grants software licences. If a group needs money, we are the wrong people and we will say so.

What you cannot buy

A testimonial, a logo on their website, a case study, or a say in which group is approved. Sponsorship does not purchase publicity or influence.

Plenty of pre-launch projects put a payment button up and sort the paperwork out later. Here is why we are not.

• There is no entity to receive it.Your money would land in a commercial company’s bank account. It would be revenue, not sponsorship, whatever the button said.
• We could not give you a proper receipt, in any jurisdiction.
• Nothing you gave would be tax-deductible, and a page that implies otherwise is a regulated misstatement, not a marketing choice.
• The programme does not need it to start.Three per cent of Irabu’s profit already funds places. Sponsorship adds capacity; its absence does not stop the programme.
• There is nobody to sponsor yet. The directory is empty because no group has completed the process. Taking your money for a place that does not exist would be worse than making you wait.

Foundations, multilaterals and corporate giving programmes usually want to understand a model well before there is anything to sign. That conversation can happen now.

What we can share today:

• The eligibility rules, the six group types, and how decisions are made.
• The unit economics — what a Mission place actually costs us to deliver, and therefore what a given amount of funding buys.
• The 3% profit commitment and how it interacts with sponsorship.
• The measurement plan: what we intend to count, how, and what we will refuse to claim.
• The conflict-of-interest position between the programme and the commercial business, written down. See it here.

What we cannot share: impact figures, group counts or case studies. We do not have them, and we would rather lose a conversation than invent one.
