Why Partner With NACAPA

A New Cultural Institution in Los Angeles

NACAPA is the first organization in North America dedicated exclusively to the preservation, celebration, and transmission of African performing arts across all 54 nations of the continent. We are building something that does not yet exist — a permanent institutional home for African cultural heritage in the diaspora, rooted in Los Angeles and reaching across North America.

Sponsoring NACAPA at this founding stage is not a transactional relationship. It is a founding investment in a cultural legacy. Your organization’s name and values will be permanently associated with the institution from its earliest days — a distinction that grows in meaning as NACAPA grows in reach and reputation.

Beyond the Tiers

Custom Partnership Packages

Not every partnership fits a standard tier. NACAPA welcomes conversations about custom sponsorship structures — including event naming, educational program underwriting, media partnerships, in-kind sponsorships, and multi-year founding agreements. If your organization has specific visibility goals, community engagement priorities, or budget parameters, we will design a partnership around them.

Custom packages are also available for organizations interested in co-presenting NACAPA programming, sponsoring the African Music Festival, or establishing endowed programs in their organization’s name.

Have something specific in mind? Let’s talk.
