Join us for our 5th anniversary season. Four events. One legacy. An audience that shows up, engages, and remembers the brands that invest in their community.
The Opportunity
AfroBall Indy is more than a gala. It is a full season of experiences, from AfroFest in August through the AfroBall itself in October, that brings together professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, families, and allies from across Indianapolis and beyond.
Sponsoring AfroBall Indy puts your brand in front of an engaged, community-centered audience at every touchpoint: digital, print, in-person, and international. This is a partnership with meaning.
Indy Black Professionals is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your sponsorship may be tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
