Hello, my name is Robert Irvin and I am looking to start a non-profit organization and/or operation that would both increase profits for Khan Academy and IBM and IBM subsidiaries [RHEL & The Fedora Project], while serving a great cause in increasing education at more affordable costs globally.
I was not sure who to reach out to specifically and could not find the proper contact information who I thought might have been the right person(s) to speak with...I apologize for the informality in regards to this part.
Best regards,
Robert

The Fedora project is a non-profit. Everything the community produces is FOSS, so free for everyone to use (as long as they follow the trademarks and licenses, and embargo restrictions).
I'm not sure who you should speak to at IBM/Red Hat/etc., but they'll have their own contacts for this sort of thing.
Thank you for the fast response, Ankur! I was more looking for assistance with ambassadorship and brand awareness and recognition along with large scale Fedora support.

Can you please be more specific about what assistance you are looking for?
In general, there's no "large scale Fedora support". We're a volunteer driven community. People volunteer to work on whatever they are interested in. There's no "hierarchy" where someone decides "we should do this" and everyone has to do it---it's all consensus based. One can propose community level objectives[1], but again, that does not mean that volunteers can be told what to do---you'll still have to convince other community members to work with you on your project and so on.
This applies to pretty much everything in the community---package maintenance, documentation, ambassadorship/outreach, technical support...

PS: I've subscribed you to the list now, since that is required to post to the list.
Absolutely, I have a vision of using Fedora Mobility on recycled smart phones with a khan academy linux app to help boost education in economically deprived regions.
This would tackle many problems with one stone. I love Fedora, its the most stable and reliable linux distro I have ever used and would love to give back in any way I can. Global consumerism leaves a great deal of industrial materials in its wake and this is a great way I believe to harness this by recycling smart phones, tablets and laptops. This could also help boost compatibility of Fedora Mobility on any given device and market the name on a global level.
