The Spirit of Kwanzaa:
Legacy Defined

Sub-Heading

DIW invites you to be an official sponsor of our signature Spirit of Kwanzaa production. Now in its 30th year, this beloved D.C. tradition stands as a living legacy of our founder, Fabian Barnes, blending African diasporic movement, music, and storytelling into a powerful celebration of Black identity and excellence. Your sponsorship helps preserve this cultural legacy and allows it to grow.

To secure your sponsorship, please proceed with your selected package through our standard online donation process below. Media sponsors are also welcome to contribute advertising space, promotional content, or a financial gift.
