Partnerships

Funded courses for
the people you serve.

Your organization knows the community, a funder has the budget, and we bring the course. We help find the funding, then teach it beside your staff.

The courses

Two courses, planned with your team.

Both courses start at the beginning and go at the pace of the room. We plan the examples with your team, so they fit the people you serve.

Three partners

What each partner brings.

A partnership works because each of us brings something the others cannot.

  • You Bring the Community

    Your organization brings the people you serve, a space they already know, and the trust you have built with them. Your staff work beside us in every session and keep the handouts, so the skills stay after we step back.

  • The Funder Brings the Budget

    A foundation, a government program, or a staff training grant covers the cost, and your organization is usually the one that applies. We shape the program so it fits what the funder wants to see.

  • We Bring the Course

    We bring the course, the teaching, the workbooks and handouts, and a plan for funding it. We also plan in the cultural practitioners, interpreters, childcare, and loaner devices your room needs.

Funding

How the funding comes together.

Most funders pay for programs through community organizations. Your organization applies, and we are named in the budget as the team that delivers the course.

  • The Right Program

    We look for the grants that fit your community and your timeline, and tell you honestly which ones are worth the work.

  • Help With the Application

    We write the course into your application with you: the program description, the outcomes, and the budget lines.

  • A One-Page Costed Profile

    We give you one page with group sizes, hours, prices, and learning outcomes, ready to go into your grant budget as it is.

  • Invoices on the Grant’s Schedule

    We time our invoices to the grant’s payment dates, so the bill arrives when the money does.

  • Reporting Templates

    Our templates track attendance and what people learned, so your report to the funder is quicker to write.

  • Staff Training Grants

    When an employer sends its own staff to the Work course, the BC Employer Training Grant may pay back up to 80% of eligible training costs. We check with you on the call whether your organization qualifies.

Funding is never guaranteed, and most programs take a few months from application to the first payment. The earlier we talk, the more programs are still open to you.

Looking for funding for your own organization’s website and tools? That is Digital Transformation, a service we do for your organization rather than a partnership, and it has its own funding help.

How it works

Four steps to a funded course.

The funding comes first, so a partnership takes some time to set up. Here is what happens along the way.

  1. Step 1: We Talk About Your Community

    A free call about the people you serve, what they need, and any funding you already have.

  2. Step 2: We Find the Funding Together

    We help you find the grant that fits and write the course into your application.

  3. Step 3: We Build It Around Your People

    A planning conversation with your team shapes the examples, the pacing, and the take-homes.

  4. Step 4: We Deliver It Beside You

    Your staff work alongside us in the room, and we send the reporting your funder asks for.

Partners

Organizations we partner with.

We partner with the organizations that already have the trust of the people they serve. If yours is one of these, or close to it, we would love to hear from you.

Who We Teach Together

  • Working people and the self-employed, who bring their own invoices, quotes, and customer follow-ups to the Work course and leave with a workflow that saves them time.
  • Seniors and Elders, who work through phone scams, video calls, health portals, and online banking at a slower pace, with larger print and the support people your community trusts in the room.
  • Music and media workers, who bring a release or show plan, a press bio, or a pitch to a venue, and learn where AI tools help with that work and where they do not.
  • Families, from grandparents to teens at one table, who write a family safety plan together in the Life course, including newcomer families who are new to technology.
  • Frontline nonprofit and settlement staff, who build their own grant report, volunteer schedule, or newsletter, and learn to keep client information safe while they do it.

Some groups are already served well by others, and we would rather point you to them: Ethos Lab for AI learning with Black youth, the First Nations Technology Council for AI and tech training with Indigenous learners aged 18 to 35, ISSofBC and MOSAIC for newcomers’ job-ready computer skills, and Vancouver Public Library for free computer basics.

Tell us about your community.

We would love to hear who you serve and what you have in mind. The call is free, and only your name, email, and a short message are required.

Questions.

How is a partnership funded?

Usually through a grant your organization applies for, with us named in the budget as the team that delivers the course. Some organizations pay from their own budget instead. Either way, we help you find funding that fits and shape the program to match it.

Why don’t you apply for the grant yourselves?

Most community funders give only to charities, nonprofits, and Indigenous organizations, and we are a small family business. So the organization that serves the community applies, and we are the paid team inside its budget.

How long does it take to get started?

It depends on the funder, and we give you the dates on the first call. If your organization already has the budget, we can plan the course and start sooner.

What does a partnership cost?

It depends on the course, how many sessions, and how many people. We give you the figures on one page you can put straight into a grant budget.
