The Stacking Academy / The Alliance
Institutional Partnerships
The Stacking Academy selectively works with organizations whose expertise, resources, and reach can extend what education makes possible.
The Mandate
The Stacking Academy connects education with the systems, people, resources, and environments individuals encounter outside the classroom.
The Academy is being built to connect those pieces into one environment — The Stacking Academy.
The Institution
The Alliance is not being built around a future idea. It connects organizations to infrastructure already being developed across education, professional networks, business, experiences, and geographic expansion.
Structured financial and entrepreneurial education designed to move learners from foundational concepts into increasingly advanced material.
A professional and entrepreneurial ecosystem designed to connect members, businesses, professionals, creators, mentors, and resources.
In-person environments designed to bring education, relationships, business, and opportunity into the same room.
A digital Academy designed to support education, community, resources, professional development, achievements, experiences, and geographic expansion.
The Opportunity
Expertise. Technology. Capital. Professional networks. Tools. Experiences. Resources. Opportunity. The Alliance creates a way to bring those capabilities closer to the people, businesses, professionals, and students the Academy is building for — and participation should create value for the institution contributing them.
Build meaningful relationships with emerging professionals, entrepreneurs, students, businesses, and communities.
Put institutional expertise inside environments where people are actively learning and making decisions.
Create authentic visibility through useful programming, resources, experiences, and community participation.
Enter new Academy markets and initiatives alongside an institution designed to expand geographically.
The Work
The strongest institutional relationships leave something useful behind.
An institution can fund access to Academy education for specific students, members, communities, or markets.
Bring professionals and subject-matter expertise directly into Academy education and experiences.
Place useful technology, services, tools, opportunities, or professional resources inside the ecosystem.
Create environments where education, business, relationships, and opportunity exist in the same room.
Work with the Academy as programming and participation expand into markets important to the institution.
Create pathways connecting members and students with professional environments, entrepreneurship resources, mentorship, and opportunity.
The Domains
Different institutions bring different capabilities. The Alliance is structured around what each organization can authentically contribute.

Possible Participation
The Academy's digital infrastructure allows education, resources, partnerships, and programming to extend into new markets. Regional partners can help introduce Academy programming to communities where they already have established relationships, expertise, and local knowledge.
The Idea
Help bring the Academy into the communities you serve.
Possible Participation
The Reach
The Academy's digital infrastructure allows education, resources, and partnerships to extend into new communities without rebuilding the institution from the ground up.
The Standard
The Alliance is intentionally selective. Relationships are developed around shared objectives, relevant expertise, community value, and what each organization can responsibly contribute to the Academy.
Visibility alone is not enough. The relationship should make the institution stronger and make the Academy more useful.
The Office
If your organization has expertise, resources, technology, access, programming, or opportunities that could strengthen the Academy ecosystem, the Office of External Relations would like to understand it.
