Support In-Kind: Help Us Build a Lasting Experience
The Odis Ella Foundation’s Etiquette Program and Cotillion are designed to give youth more than just lessons—they’re stepping into a rite of passage that will shape their confidence, leadership, and legacy. To make this possible, we welcome not only financial contributions but also in-kind donations of goods and services that help bring our vision to life.
What You Can Give
We invite community partners, businesses, and individuals to consider donating:
• Materials & Supplies: books, stationery, décor, classroom resources, or cultural items for lessons.
• Event Venues: space for workshops, rehearsals, or the Cotillion itself.
• Uniforms & Attire: dresses, suits, shoes, or formal accessories to ensure all participants shine on their big night.
• Equipment: audio/visual systems, staging, lighting, or photography/videography services.
• Professional Services: mentorship workshops, etiquette instruction, event planning, catering, or transportation.
Why In-Kind Giving Matters
Every contribution—whether it’s a venue, a dress, or professional expertise—directly supports the students. In-kind donations lower costs, enrich the program experience, and create unforgettable opportunities for the young leaders we serve.
How to Donate
If you or your organization would like to give in-kind, please reach out to our team. Together, we can ensure every student in our program feels supported, celebrated, and prepared to lead.
