Empower HerPartners

60-second pitch

Help participants experience the professional life they are working toward.

In 12 weeks they build bookkeeping and accounting skills, learn to serve clients, write a business or employment plan, and practice in real settings. We invite automotive and corporate partners to expand vehicles, mentors, technology, and scholarships. The goal is measurable: completion, readiness, employment, ownership, and paying clients.

Founding Automotive Experience Sponsor

Bateman & Associates currently provides a corporate-sponsored fleet—a BMW sedan, BMW convertible, and Mercedes wagon—registered and insured for approved program use. That fleet is a proof of concept. We now seek partners who will help it grow without confusing professional practice with luxury as an end in itself.

The ask

Become an Empower Her Automotive Partner by providing a new, certified pre-owned, demo, executive, trade-in, or other suitable vehicle—or by underwriting insurance, maintenance, fuel, detailing, tires, and transportation costs. Priority needs include a premium midsize SUV, a seven-passenger SUV or van, a reliable sedan, and an accessible vehicle when demand warrants.

We do not imply manufacturer or dealership endorsement unless a written partnership exists. We do not promise donors a deduction amount; IRS vehicle-gift rules, including Form 1098-C where applicable, will be followed.
