Milan Mixer 2026 - Sponsorship Opportunity
Join us in making a difference
For over 40 years, IACS has shown up quietly and consistently, with a deep commitment to create an essential infrastructure for the Indian immigrant community to feel safe, supported and to thrive. Across our program areas, spanning every stage of life, we try to meet people where they are and walk together with them towards something better.
To those who have been a part of our journey, this is what our work really looks like —
It looks like a grandparent who doesn't have to deal with isolation or choose between her groceries and her medication. A teenager who learnt about cultural identity and community service in one of our youth programs. A family that finally has a safe place to turn while going through personal crises, financial difficulties or abusive situations. A small business owner who almost gave up, until someone from our corner helped her find a way forward.
We could not do this without your support. We are very grateful you are here.
The IACS Milan Mixer 2026 is more than an event.
This evening is our chance to pause and reflect upon how far we have come together, and look honestly at the road ahead, as we attempt to share what we have created and what we hope to build with the support we have received. Our community is growing, and so is our determination to meet its needs.
We're excited to welcome our guests to a lively evening of great food, wine tasting, and even better company. Expect an atmosphere that is warm, refined, and intentionally designed for conversation, storytelling, and shared experience.
DJ Jimmy will be turning up the energy, so get ready to hit the dance floor, move to the beats, and enjoy a night with warmth and purpose.
Support Small. Grow Together.
We are reaching out to businesses with a strong sense of community responsibility — companies that understand what it means to build something from the ground up, and who recognize that a thriving local economy benefits everyone.
Right now, small businesses in our community are under extraordinary pressure. Rising costs, shifting policies, and economic uncertainty are pushing local entrepreneurs to the edge.
Your support of the IACS Small Business Program means more entrepreneurs get the guidance, resources, and steady presence they need before they reach a point of crisis. It means more jobs preserved, more families supported, and more vitality in the neighborhoods we all share.
When big business lifts small business, the whole community rises. That is what it means to support small and grow together.We offer four sponsorship levels, each designed to recognize and celebrate your investment in our community:

Every dollar raised through donations and at our events supports essential program areas serving thousands of community members each year:
Care and support for older adults — Senior Mental Health and Physical well-being support
Empowerment for teens and young adults. Community-focused initiatives and cultural programs
School readiness and support for new immigrant families. Resources for mental and physical well being for parents and young children.
Resources, Training, and markets for local entrepreneurs. Visibility, marketing advices and legal assistance.
Support for abuse, economic and legal crisis situation. Rental Assistance and temporary financial assistance for emergencies.
Demand for our services has grown significantly year over year. Without increased funding, we are unable to serve the growing number of community members who need our help. Your sponsorship directly funds the staff, programs, and outreach that change lives — and gives our most vulnerable neighbors a path forward.
Every sponsorship dollar stays local and goes directly to our programs.Behind the scenes, quietly and with deep respect for privacy, our team is walking alongside families and individuals through some of the most frightening moments of their lives. A mother navigating an immigration hearing with no one else in her corner. A family served with an eviction notice — days away from losing everything. A person in crisis who has nowhere to turn and no resources to fight back.
In today's economic and political climate, these calls are coming in more than ever. The need is urgent, it is real, and it is growing faster than our current funding allows us to meet it.
Legal defense for those who cannot afford representation
Advocacy for individuals facing immigration crises
Emergency housing support to prevent displacement
Emergency resources for families in acute financial distress
These services are not grant-funded. They rely almost entirely on the generosity of people like you. When you give to this work, you are stepping into a gap that no one else is filling — and you are doing it for someone who may never be able to thank you publicly, but will carry your kindness with them for the rest of their life.
The past year has been truly transformative, marked by significant strides as we met new challenges and expanded our reach to serve a broader section of our community, both geographically and through the range of services we provide.
In 2024, thanks to the generous support of our donors and partners, IACS was able to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
pan-Indian, secular, and volunteer-driven.
