New Leaf Academia and Corporate Partnerships – Why?
As discussed in Chapters 8-11, New Leaf World Markets, Inc. is all about connecting individuals and entities, with shared values and goals, into a new world community centered around New Leaf’s Online ‘Marketplace.’
New Leaf’s partnerships with Academia and Corporate Founding Sponsors are very important. These partnerships are active by participating in long-term funding and building our indigenous projects around the world, starting with Maya Global 2012 in 2013. Our academic partners have strong existing graduate programs specializing in helping underdeveloped nations needing critical solutions to reverse serious social, economic, and environmental problems. Our academic partners will participate, through New Leaf’s graduate student mentoring programs, in critical disciplines that are at the center of building the indigenous projects such as crop production and soil reclamation, products processing and manufacturing, marketing and communication, and technology. These academic internships will become globally recognized educational programs and fulfill New Leaf’s on-going need for younger developers and builders.
No business or project is sustainable without the proper funding and hands-on support in communicating and marketing the message and brand. Our exclusive Founding Corporate Sponsors will fulfill this need. The New Leaf Seed Foundation is partially funded by our exclusive corporate sponsorships purchased by companies that want to establish their corporate responsibility and bonafides. These companies are working to integrate philanthropic strategy more fully with company-wide business objectives. Corporations today are equally prioritizing sponsorships that can show effective and sustainable philanthropic improvements and results, and create marketing benefits for their companies.
Our Founding Sponsors are companies that:
- Market to socially conscious consumers with the objective to expand their reach.
- Place a high value on worldwide positive brand image.
- Have a history of investing in non-profits focused on rural development in developing nations.
- Have a history of investing in sustainable development and environmental improvement.
- Place large mutual emphasis on reversing poverty and environmental degradation in one swoop.
- Have a history of charitable giving with a possible monetary return on investment.
Please stay tuned for Chapter 13 to be released on December 23rd, as we enter into the ‘Dawning of a New Era’ with the Maya and the rest of the world.
