2026/2027 Corporate Supporter Opportunities | The GenderCool Project

Impact at Scale: Sharing Life-Changing Resources, Building Better Allies, and Changing The Narrative Through Storytelling

GenderCool's Mission In Action

As a Diversity & Inclusion Leader, you are focused on providing timely, impactful, and easy-to-implement programming for your employees. The landscape affecting Pride ERG programming is evolving, so GenderCool has redefined our corporate supporter offerings to be more internally focused, intersectional, and cost-effective, making them significantly easier to get approved and implement.

Our programs support your D&I goals by:

• Providing Life-Changing Resources:

  GenderCool's curated resources, connections and inspiration for your firm's parents of transgender children can change, or even save, a child's life.

• Building Better Allies:

  Increase employee understanding of transgender and nonbinary topics, creating a more inclusive company culture.

• Changing the Narrative:

  Reframe the conversation to highlight the visibility, inclusion, and joy of transgender and nonbinary youth and their families.

• Supporting a Nonprofit:

  Your support fuels GenderCool's life-changing work. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your contribution may also be tax deductible.

Opening Hearts and Shifting Culture Through Storytelling

"In a time of division, our Champions remind us that love and authenticity are the most powerful tools for change."
