Why your support matters

A strong community association creates connection, belonging, and access—especially for newcomers and families navigating a new city. Your support helps CICA deliver programs and events, provide guidance and community referrals, offer language-access support when needed, and ensure more people can participate regardless of financial circumstances.

Donate to CICA

Donations sustain CICA’s year-round work and help us plan programs responsibly. You can give once or become a monthly supporter.

Ways you can support CICA

Replace your current bullets with these (more established tone + clearer categories):

• One-time donation — supports immediate priorities such as venue costs, program materials, and event operations.
• Monthly giving — provides reliable support to sustain programs and services throughout the year.
• In-kind contributions — venue space, printing, catering, equipment, media coverage, professional services, and other goods/services that reduce operating costs.
• Sponsor a program or event — sponsor cultural celebrations, youth programming, workshops, or community initiatives aligned with your values.
• Business partnership — become a CICA Partner Member and offer member perks or discounts while supporting community programs.

For businesses & community partners

If you operate a business or organization and would like to collaborate, CICA welcomes partnerships that deliver real community value and clear outcomes. We work with partners on sponsorship recognition that reflects your brand and supports programs that matter.

Partnership examples:

• Member perks, discounts, or priority offers
• Event co-hosting, venue partnerships, or program sponsorship
• Internship, mentorship, and professional networking opportunities
• Joint community initiatives (health, education, family support, settlement and integration)

We can share partnership options, recognition levels, and collaboration ideas upon request.
