VitalPath Equity Access Sponsorship:

Apply today to receive free programming!

At VitalPath Initiative, we believe in you—your vision, your mission, and the incredible work you’re doing.


 That’s why we actively pursue grants and philanthropic support to offset program costs and ensure equitable access to our services. Through this effort, we’re able to offer many of our high-quality programs at discounted rates, and in some cases, completely free of charge.

If your school or organization serves a student population where 75% or more identify as low-income, we invite you to apply for our VitalPath Equity Access Sponsorship using the application below.

This opportunity is available year-round.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis in alignment with funding availability.

  • Must be a public or private school, or a nonprofit/community-based organization serving students in Grades Preschool–12.

  • At least 75% of the total student population must identify as low-income. Data must be provided to support (free & reduced lunch data, scholarship date etc).

  • Must be located within the Greater Cleveland, Akron, or Cincinnati metropolitan areas.

  • Your organization must be serving groups of children at the same time or have the potential to offer programming for 10 or more students per program. Must serve a total of 10 or more students.

Important Disclaimers

Limited Funding & High Demand

 Funds are limited, and we receive a high volume of applications. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, even if all eligibility requirements are met.

  • Present the proposed program(s)

  • Discuss potential implementation terms

  • Ask you to confirm your acceptance or decline the offer

Program Selection:

Sponsorship recipients may not be able to choose specific programs. Programs are assigned based on available funding, staff capacity, and scheduling.

Declining the Offer:

If you decline the offer, you will be asked to complete a short refusal form. The offer will then be extended to another eligible applicant, possibly within as little as one hour.

Required Response Time:

If accepted, you will have 72 hours from the time of receiving your acceptance materials to complete and return all required paperwork. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the sponsorship.

Why Schools Choose VitalPath Initiative

Unlike many companies that offer narrow, high-cost programs in just one or two specialty areas, VitalPath Initiative delivers a comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable solution designed with schools in mind.

Implementation that Works for You

We know that even the best program can fail without proper support. That’s why every VitalPath program is staffed by professionals trained in trauma-informed practices and classroom management. Our teams combine skilled educators with specialized content experts to guarantee engaging, structured, and high-quality delivery—whether during the school day, as electives, or in after-school settings. Our goal is to integrate seamlessly with minimal disruption and no added burden on your staff.

Sustainable Intervention & Capacity Building

When it comes to intervention support, we don’t just fill temporary gaps—we build lasting capacity. VitalPath partners with schools to design and implement tailored intervention systems, and we coach administrators on budgeting, staffing, and sustaining these systems long-term. This allows schools to redirect funding toward enriching experiences that expand access and equity for all students.

Your Strategic Partner

School leaders have the vision; VitalPath provides the support to make it happen. We work alongside your leadership team as a trusted partner, resource provider, and operational support system—so you can focus on what truly matters: cultivating a thriving, inspired, and well-supported school community.
