Details

InPower is a truly independent network/social media app where members (women and those who identify as nonbinary) can interact with each other and professionals based on standard shared sets and a pledge to be supportive and kind to one another (by joining groups and communities through our application). Resources like short educational modules being required to be finished before joining groups (like conflict resolution skills, how to not be judgemental online, and terminology that is offensive to LBGQTIA+ community, etc) is the driving force of our app. We provide the foundations to prepare our members to join any group or community they want to join.

Now, we are looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that support our mission and vision statement. We are solving online bullying, trolling, privacy and security, and you will be helping the tens of thousands of lives we have already changed through our journey.

Deliverables
  • Research, plan, write, edit, and revise a persuasive proposal narrative; or
  • Understand programs and funding requirements of our organization
  • Submit proposals to grant coordinators for approval that support our cause
  • Respond to internal and external queries on drafted and submitted proposals.
  • Maintain positive relationships with fund providers and other stakeholders.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project.

We would also like to mention that we will highlight our student(s) all over our social media platforms as a thank you for their work!

About InPower

InPower is a social wellness platform on a mission to transform how we connect, grow, and support each other in the digital age. Unlike traditional social media, which thrives on outrage, isolation, and performative metrics, InPower creates a safe, emotionally intelligent ecosystem where real personal development, community healing, and peer-to-peer empowerment thrive.

We’re building the first-of-its-kind social platform designed around growth, not popularity combining real-time education, community accountability, expert support, and emotionally aware AI to guide users toward better habits, healthier relationships, and deeper self-understanding.

Our Vision
To create a world where every person feels safe, supported, and empowered to grow emotionally, mentally, socially, and even financially through a thriving ecosystem built on compassion, clarity, and community accountability.

What Makes InPower Different
Safety by Design – Group access is earned through skill-based badges (e.g., conflict resolution, non-judgmental communication). This encourages learning before belonging not punishment. Removed members are redirected to educational modules instead of being banned.

Emotionally Intelligent AI (Meeka) – Our AI assistant recognizes tone, sarcasm, and cultural cues. Meeka offers real-time rewording suggestions before harmful posts go live, helping users grow in the moment like a CBT-informed guide.

Expert-Led Ecosystem – Licensed professionals (therapists, coaches, educators) can run groups, offer courses, and book sessions. Their presence is central to our platform's credibility and emotional safety net.

Personal Growth Tools – From progress reports and daily check-ins to journaling, habit tracking, and educational paths, we give users real tools to move forward, not just scroll.

B2B Integration – InPower offers employer and university partnerships, emotional health programs, loyalty cards with partner discounts, and data-free surveys for ethical monetization and mutual value creation.
