Grant Partnerships WHEF is a well-funded foundation focused on increasing college access in Mississippi with a history of granting to local colleges and programs. This presents an opportunity to propose donor-advised grants or program funding aligned with college persistence, completion, and re-entry for students impacted by the justice system.

Get2College Expansion The Get2College program operates three centers and offers free counseling, ACT prep, and financial aid assistance. A sales approach could pitch expanded counseling services, digital platform enhancements, or partnerships with schools to broaden reach across the state.

Public-Private Synergy Partnerships with Mississippi community colleges and universities are already active. There is potential to introduce technology solutions for case management, student tracking, or data sharing to improve college-going cultures and measure outcomes for continued funding.

Technology Enablement Current tech stack includes cloud platforms and CMS tools. A value proposition could focus on upgrading data analytics, CRM for student outreach, or marketing automation to scale Get2College campaigns and enhance engagement with families.

Strategic Positioning With substantial revenue and a mission-driven focus on education access, WHEF could be receptive to programs around workforce-aligned training, adult re-entry education, or industry partnerships that align scholarships with regional labor market needs.
