Sponsor a Future
Your sponsorship can make a transformative impact. By contributing to Columbus Braiding Co’s Sponsorship Program, you provide women from low-income areas in Columbus with essential training, skills, and certification in the art of braiding—setting them on a path to self-sufficiency and career growth in the field of natural hair care.
Why Sponsor?
Bridge Income Gaps
Over 16% of Columbus families live below the poverty line, and women of color face unique financial barriers. Your sponsorship provides access to an in-demand skill set, directly supporting sustainable careers.
Support a Growing Industry
The natural hair care field is expanding, especially in African American communities. Our program meets this demand, preparing students to excel in this essential sector.
Pathway to Higher Education
Graduates have the option to continue their studies in cosmetology, opening doors to licensure, salon ownership, and leadership roles.
Ways to Get Involved
Sponsor a Student’s Course
Your donation covers course fees, supplies, and certification, enabling students to gain skills they need without financial barriers. Every dollar brings them closer to a sustainable career path.
Volunteer Your Time and Expertise
• Host Mentorship Workshops: Industry professionals can donate their time to mentor students, share industry insights, or lead sessions on business skills, self-promotion, and client management.
• Volunteer for Mock Interviews and Portfolio Reviews: Help students build their professional presence through resume and portfolio development, along with mock interviews to enhance confidence and job readiness.
• Provide Equipment and Supplies: Donated supplies like combs, mannequins, oils, or hair products are invaluable for students as they develop and practice their skills.
Share the Message

Your Impact
When you sponsor a woman in the Columbus Braiding Co Sponsorship Program, you’re providing far more than skills training. You’re fostering self-confidence, career opportunities, and economic mobility, which ripple outward to strengthen families and communities. Let’s bridge the gap together, building a future where every woman has access to the education she needs to succeed.
