Naming Rights
We invite your company to partner with Tenderfoot by sponsoring the build-out of our private study rooms, semi-private study spaces, public study space, collaboration lounge, communal kitchen, and childcare area—in exchange for exclusive naming rights that put your brand front and center in a thriving community of motivated learners. Your support will directly empower students while ensuring your name becomes synonymous with their success.
"Join us in advancing Virginia’s educational future by supporting Tenderfoot’s build-out. Together, we’ll help the State Council for Higher Education of Virginia reach its goal of 70% degree attainment by 2030, making us the nation’s best-educated state."

"About one-third (35%) of currently enrolled students pursuing a certificate, certifications, associate's, or bachelor’s degree recently considered stopping their program due to emotional stress and mental anguish. Tenderfoot supports the mental health of all students by providing a third space purposely built for success."

"I’m grateful for the path I forged after service, but having a space like Tenderfoot, where military members can focus on certifications and career transitions—would have amplified my growth, eased the stress of balancing studies with duty, and made my post-service journey even smoother.”

“Nursing school is no small feat. My classmates and I were always scrambling for any quiet corner to study or collaborate but oftentimes our homes weren't suitable, sometimes internet connection would be an issue, or we simply needed to be among fellow strivers. Tenderfoot would have been our safe harbor, offering reliable Wi-Fi, peaceful space, and the shared energy of peers pursuing excellence."

Every night at 8 PM, students gather for a one-hour break to recharge with snacks and community. Your institution or business can sponsor this daily tradition by providing refreshments and optional free promotional items like samples, coupons, or branded materials. In return sponsors receive digital recognition for the entire hour in three locations: A small display next to snack items, communal kitchen display and main entrance digital display. By sponsoring a study break you're not only connecting with our student community, your'e also directly supporting Tenderfoot's start-up journey in building a purpose driven space for studying and learning.
Showcase your institution or business with daily recognition on our entryway digital display, six months of rotating ads on our kitchen screens, and prominent placement on our Wi Fi landing page. Every student who walks through our doors, grabs a snack, or logs in to our network will see your brand, positioning you as a key supporter of their academic journey. This targeted daily exposure lets you inform motivated adult learners about your programs, events or services while demonstrating your commitment to educational success and community growth and providing critical startup funding that brings Tenderfoot’s vision to life.
