On this page

Our whitepapers are Cultivate Sponsorship’s own research. They set out the evidence behind how we design sponsorship programs and what those programs change.

What’s here

Leveraging Sponsorship for Gender Equality and Inclusive Company Culture takes on the claim that programs for women give them an unfair advantage, and makes the case for structured sponsorship. Cultivate’s Social Impact Framework sets out the impact of Willow, our women’s leadership sponsorship program, across five areas: leadership access, career clarity, retention, relationship longevity and wellbeing.
