We’ve always believed in the power of giving back. From our start, we’ve been committed to reinvesting in our community by providing product and monetary donations to support essential resources, disaster relief efforts, and programs that uplift women and families.
As a brand founded and led by three women, we understand firsthand the impact of closing opportunity gaps that limit women’s potential. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to expand access to possibility and break down the barriers that hold women—and society—back.
Through Odele For Good, we use our platform and resources to help more women thrive. By partnering with organizations that share our vision, we’re working to empower women in entrepreneurship, education and community—ensuring they have the support and resources they need to succeed.
Featured partner: Jeremiah Program
We’re excited to spotlight our amazing partner for a second year, Jeremiah Program—a national nonprofit on a mission to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children, two generations at a time. Through education, mentorship, housing support and community, Jeremiah Program partners with women on their journeys to economic mobility, giving them the tools and resources they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
How we’re working together
As part of our partnership with Jeremiah Program, we sponsored their 2026 Summit Weekend, a transformative gathering that unites over 2,500 moms, alumni, educators, system changemakers and partners in person and virtually all working toward a common goal: eliminating the barriers to women’s economic mobility.
A highlight of the weekend is the annual JP Spark Tank, a one-of-a-kind pitch competition that elevates Jeremiah Program moms and alumni by driving coaching and funding to their existing business ventures or new business ideas. Of the 8 mompreneurs who pitched their businesses, three finalists were selected to win prizes. We were honored to have Odele’s COO, Shanti Vadlamudi, serve as a finalist judge for this year's event. She heard inspiring stories from so many mompreneurs who are using their businesses to support families and create meaningful change in their communities.
Along with her fellow finalist judges, Shanti helped select NeuroNook as the winner of the 2026 Spark Tank and the Inspiration Award, presenting founder Jacqueline Kyle with a $10,000 prize to help fuel her business growth.
