Partners

Partner with us.

Partnership keeps the programming running and reaches members at scale. Whether you're a company, a community organization, or an individual who wants to support — there's a way in that fits.

Founding Partner

Built in connection with Seneca Polytechnic.

ACSN was born at Seneca — out of the Seneca Nigeria Student Club. Seneca remains our founding partner and home base, and the relationship is the reason the network started where it did and looks the way it does today.

Ways to support

It doesn't have to be financial.

Some partners fund a program directly. Others open a boardroom for a workshop, send mentors from their team, or co-host an event on campus. We shape the partnership around what your organization is best positioned to give.

Financial sponsorship

Sponsor a program, an event, or a year of operations. You'll get brand visibility, networking access, and a clear impact report at the end — so you can see exactly what your support did.

Venue & in-kind

Event spaces, catering, technology, and professional services that directly power programming and free up our operating budget for what only money can fix.

Institutional partnership

Co-branded programming, joint grant applications, research collaborations, and shared promotional channels — for organizations going long-term with us.

Who we work with

The kinds of partners that fit.

We're open to partners across every sector. The fit tends to come from organizations active in community engagement, Black professional development, or cultural programming — but we shape every conversation around what's possible together.

Employers & recruiters

Organizations hiring early-career talent and looking to build authentic relationships with the diaspora community before the job posting goes up.

DEI & community teams

Corporate community investment teams looking for partners with reach into the African and Caribbean diaspora — and the receipts to back it up.

Foundations & grants

Funders supporting youth programming, cultural engagement, and Black community organizations across Canada.

Post-secondary institutions

Colleges, polytechnics, and universities expanding student supports for African and Caribbean students — co-branded programming and joint events.

Community organizations

Black-led and diaspora-focused organizations whose work overlaps with ours — co-hosted events, shared channels, joint applications.

Individual supporters

Alumni, parents, and community members who want to back the work — through donations, mentorship hours, or just showing up.

Let's talk.

Most first conversations take 30 minutes. Bring your questions and what you're trying to accomplish — we'll figure out a fit together.
