Multiply this work with us.
The Jenna Initiative grows through partners who bring expertise, reach, and resources we can't produce alone. Here's how different industries help, and what we offer in return.
Belonging takes a network.
Churches don't become inclusive because of a brochure. They become inclusive because researchers, students, donors, and employers showed up to make the path possible. Our partner program is built around that reality.
We work with partners who want their name attached to long-term cultural change, not a one-time campaign. If your organization values dignity and durability, we want to talk.

For colleges, universities, and seminaries.
Disability inclusion is an applied research field, a field placement, and a faith-and-practice question all at once. We partner with academic programs across all three.
Internship placements
Students from disability studies, divinity, social work, special education, and OT/PT programs join certification cohorts as observation interns or as research-paired contributors.
Research collaborations
Co-authored papers on church-based disability inclusion, longitudinal studies of certified congregations, and capstone projects with measurable outcomes.
Endowed scholarships
Named scholarship funds that send small congregations through certification. Recognition in our annual impact report and on the recipient's recognition package.
Co-branded materials
Joint resource publications, curriculum modules for student use, and conference presentations with shared bylines. Strong fit for divinity schools and OT/special-ed departments.
For employers and grantmakers.
Faith-based disability inclusion is one of the most underfunded corners of the broader inclusion conversation. Corporate partnership shifts that, with measurable visibility for your team.
Scholarship sponsorship
Sponsor church scholarships at any tier. Each sponsored scholarship is publicly attributed in our impact report and the certified church's recognition package.
Annual Summit sponsor
Top-tier visibility at the annual gathering of certified churches and partners. Stage time, branded space, and program-page recognition.
Co-branded recognition gifts
Print, decals, and apparel in the certified-church recognition package can carry a co-branded mark. Strong fit for community-rooted retailers and service providers.
Employee engagement
Volunteer days, board service, and skills-based pro bono engagements. We can structure project-shaped opportunities for legal, design, marketing, or finance teams.
