SPONSORSHIP
Seven ways to stand with CCCADI in its fiftieth year.
Sponsorship is built around the anniversary season rather than a single evening: a partner is seen at a street festival in August, inside an exhibition in the fall, at a ceremony in January, and on stage in April. Select a level to see everything it carries.
$100,000
Anniversary Sponsor
-
What the sponsor receives
Monthly recognition during anniversary year programming
Verbal recognition at both CCCADI and collaborative events
Award presentation moment at the AnniverSoirée
Mention in the pre-event press release
Logo and link on the event website
Logo prominently featured on signage at CCCADI
Social media collaboration to highlight the sponsorship
Twenty AnniverSoirée tickets
What the gift funds
Both institutional pillars. The Community Archiving Lab covers the archiving work at Ilé Oyin: digitizing the collection, community digitization days, oral histories with Caribbean elders, and the archivist time that makes any of it findable. Youth Pathways covers Sankofa, For The Culture, and the Harlem Ancestral Renaissance Project curriculum.
Ideal for lead corporate partners, major foundations, and institutional partners who want a sustained year-long presence rather than a single night.

CCCADI also accepts in-kind donations and underwriting contributions — printing, catering, photography, video, and venue services among them. Partnerships are valued and matched to the nearest level so recognition is proportionate.
Commitments are confirmed in writing. To appear in a program's print materials, a commitment must be signed six weeks ahead of that program. Benefits reduce the deductible portion of a gift; CCCADI finance provides the fair market value of each level on request.
