Join Me in Supporting Chicago’s Cultural Communities

As the creator of the World Dumpling Fest and a member of the CCA, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in making a lasting impact on the vibrant, diverse communities that make up our city. CCA brings together close to 50 cultural heritage centers and organizations from across Chicagoland to celebrate and preserve the traditions, histories, and identities that make our city so unique. This work is vital in building a city where everyone feels a sense of belonging, connection, and community.

Why Your Support Matters

Every dollar you give helps the CCA empower its member organizations to preserve their cultural heritage and share it with all of Chicago. Through programs like World Dumpling Fest, Activating Heritage, and Journey Chicago, we’re breaking down barriers and fostering meaningful connections. With your contribution, CCA can:

• Support Cultural Centers: Help us provide grants, training, and resources to our members, from community-based museums to immigrant-led organizations, so they can continue sharing their stories and traditions.
• Bring People Together: Fund engaging public programs that celebrate the food, music, dance, and languages of our diverse communities, building bridges across cultures and generations.
• Advocate: Empower marginalized communities to tell their own stories and participate fully in Chicago’s cultural life, so everyone can see themselves reflected in our city’s history and future.

Here’s How You Can Make a Difference

Our goal is to raise $10,000 by December 31, and I’m asking for your help to make this possible. No donation is too small; every gift shows support for Chicago’s cultural heritage and brings us one step closer to a thriving, connected community. By donating today, you’re supporting a future where every culture has a voice, and every voice is heard.

Will you join me in supporting Chicago's many cultural communities? Together, we can make an impact that will be felt for generations to come.

Make Your Gift Today!
