Why Sponsor these community events?

Your sponsorship does more than just support two events, it plays a vital role in supporting our mission to empower immigrant and refugee communities from Africa and the Middle East and invests in systems‑level change and long-term civic infrastructure through the following:

At the Community Resources Fair:

• Civic Empowerment: Voter registration and ballot-literacy workshops for underrepresented residents.

• Service Access: Housing, health screenings (BP, blood sugar, HIV), legal aid, benefits navigation, food, ORCA cards, and mobile phones.

• Systems Coordination: One-stop access connecting residents to service providers across sectors and enabling future follow-up.

At Cultural Night:

• Celebration of Identity: Music, dance, storytelling, art, and food rooted in immigrant, refugee, Indigenous, and BIPOC traditions.

• Peer-Led Design: Programming shaped through community listening sessions and co‑creation, ensuring local relevance.

• Empowerment Through Culture: Building cultural pride, collective belonging, and cultural resilience as a form of civic power.

• Ballot Party: A space to learn, discuss, and complete ballots together—supporting informed voting and civic participation in a culturally welcoming environment.

Who Will Attend This Event?

Mother Africa’s events consistently draw large and diverse audiences. In previous events, over 700 attendees—including refugees and immigrants from 20+ countries—engaged with 30+ service providers.
