Become a Regeneration Partner

Estimated reading: 6 minutes 47 views

Regeneration Partners makes learning opportunities accessible to the people who need them most—public-school students, first-generation graduates, and communities without access to this kind of expertise.

Partners fund or provide access to sessions that Explorers can join for free, while ensuring Guides are fairly compensated where applicable. Rather than funding a one-time programme, your support strengthens a self-sustaining learning community where knowledge, opportunity, and participation can continue to circulate.

Who Can Become a Regeneration Partner?

Partner Type	What You Are Looking For
Companies with CSR or ESG commitments	Employee engagement that produces evidence and impact reporting that survives review. Contributing your people as Guides is usually the fastest place to start.
Foundations & NGOs	Reach underserved groups through communities that already trust someone. Cohort funding provides a bounded, reportable unit of impact.
Web3 Treasuries & Mission-Aligned DAOs	Public-goods funding with traceable outcomes and an ecosystem you can participate in rather than simply donate to.

What a Regeneration Partner Does

Role	How You Contribute
Sponsor	Fund free learning sessions for Explorers in a named cohort or community.
Sustain	Fund Guide payments through the pilot, so expertise is compensated rather than extracted.
Direct	Earmark support for a specific community or cause your organisation already serves.
Staff	Contribute your employees as verified, session-tracked Guides.
Amplify	Co-brand a learning initiative and put it in front of your own network.

Two Ways to Partner

01 — Fund a Cohort

You fund a named cohort or session series — not “Guides in general,” but something with a defined shape and a clear community.

Example: [Your Organisation] University Readiness Cohort — Q3 2026

What It Means	What You Receive
Defined number of sessions	Cohort-specific impact report
Named community	Cohort naming
Defined delivery window	Co-branded initiative
Funding through the CED Learning Fund	First refusal on running it again
Indicative scale: 50 participants across an agreed number of sessions	Scope and cost agreed with you on the first call

The CED Learning Fund receives and tracks the contribution. Verified Guides deliver the sponsored sessions and are paid per completed session.

02 — Contribute Your People

You contribute your own employees as Guides, instead of or alongside monetary funding.

This works particularly well where your staff already hold the expertise our subjects need — recruiters, communications leads, admissions staff, career coaches, and other subject-matter experts.

What You Provide	What You Receive
Employee Guides	Structured employee volunteering program
Verified expertise	Verified hours and session-level records
Sessions around employee availability	Low-lift participation
Relevant professional knowledge	Recognition as a Regeneration Partner

Sessions typically run 20–50 minutes and are booked around Guide availability.

Your Guides complete the same verification as everyone else. No exceptions — this helps keep the platform safe for the learners you are trying to reach.

Many partners begin with one model and add the other.

A third option is available on request: a directed support fund earmarked for a specific community or cause your organisation already serves.

Where Does Your Support Go?

Monetary Sponsorship

Step	What Happens
1. Define	You commit funding to a cohort, session series, or specific community.
2. Allocate	The CED Learning Fund receives and ring-fences the contribution under your partnership.
3. Deliver	Verified Guides deliver sponsored sessions and are paid per completed session.
4. Access	Explorers access sponsored sessions at no cost.
5. Report	CED reports sessions delivered, learners reached, communities served, feedback, and Explorer-to-Guide transitions.

In-kind Guide Sponsorship

Step	What Happens
1. Nominate	You nominate employees to participate as Guides.
2. Verify	CED verifies their Guide eligibility.
3. Match	Guides are matched to the agreed community and subject.
4. Deliver	Employee-Guides host sponsored sessions.
5. Track	Sessions and participation are recorded for impact reporting.

What You Receive

1	Measurable social impact	A cohort impact report: sessions delivered, unique learners, communities served, expertise domains covered, average feedback scores, and Explorer-to-Guide transitions. Every figure is verifiable against platform session records.
2	CSR, ESG and SDG alignment	Maps to SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), in a form your reporting team can use directly.
3	Recognition as a Regeneration Partner	Named on the CED Collaboration Network alongside partners including FoGS, Espoir and UEF — and recognised in-session and in-app, not only on a webpage.
4	Co-branded learning initiatives	Name a cohort. Run a themed series. Put your own experts on stage as Guides. Your people teach, and your organisation is in the room where it happens.
5	Ecosystem access	A route into the wider Kambria open innovation ecosystem, including DAO participation, for partners who want more than a transaction.

Reporting cadence

When	What you receive
Mid-cohort	Short progress note covering sessions booked, sessions delivered, and early feedback
End of cohort	Full impact report plus two or three participant stories, shared with consent
Annually	Aggregate partner report across cohorts, mapped to relevant SDG reporting formats
