Partnership Opportunity: Amplifying Latino Voices in Chicago

Your Legacy in Latino Cultural Excellence

As a sponsor, you and your organization have the extraordinary opportunity to create a lasting impact on how Latino voices in the arts and culture scene of Chicago not only survive, but thrive and flourish for generations to come.

More Than Support – A Movement

Your partnership with the International Latino Cultural Center goes far beyond traditional sponsorship. Your investment broadens horizons, expands minds, and brings communities together in ways that ripple through neighborhoods, families, and entire generations. In a time when divisive rhetoric seeks to diminish and deny Latino voices from our national narrative, your support becomes an act of affirmation and celebration.

We are not asking to belong – we already are an integral part of America’s fabric. Your sponsorship helps us weave that fabric stronger, more vibrant, and more beautiful for everyone.

The Power of Cultural Investment

When you partner with the ILCC, you’re investing in:

Storytelling That Matters: For 41 years, we’ve showcased over 900 films and countless performances that might never have found a platform otherwise. These aren’t just entertainment – they’re windows into experiences, dreams, and truths that enrich our collective understanding.

Community Connection: From our Films in the Park series bringing families together under Chicago’s summer stars to our year-round programming that transforms lives, your support creates moments where barriers dissolve and humanity shines.

Future Generations: Every young Latino artist who sees themselves represented on our stages and screens, every child who attends a bilingual workshop, every family that finds community in our programs – they carry forward the confidence and pride that your investment nurtures.

Cultural Bridge-Building: In a city as beautifully diverse as Chicago, we serve as a bridge that connects communities, fostering understanding and celebration rather than division.

Your Impact in Action

Your sponsorship doesn’t just fund programs – it funds possibility. It says to every Latino artist, filmmaker, and culture keeper: “Your voice matters. Your story deserves to be heard. Your culture enriches all of us.”

In partnering with us, you align your organization with values of inclusion, excellence, and cultural celebration. You become part of a legacy that has been 25 years in the making and will continue for 25 more.

An Invitation to Legacy

We invite you to join us not just as a sponsor, but as a champion of the vibrant Latino culture that pulses through Chicago’s heart. Together, we can ensure that Latino voices don’t just survive in today’s cultural landscape – they flourish, inspire, and lead.

Your partnership with the ILCC is more than a business decision. It’s a statement about the kind of Chicago, and the kind of America, you believe in.
