Donate & Sponsor ILHC 2025
Why Sponsor ILHC?
The International Lindy Hop Championships’ mission is to respect and honor the spirit of Lindy Hop by hosting a well-organized international weekend featuring the highest-level competitions, performances, social dancing and cultural programs, and to celebrate our roots in the historic Harlem neighborhood. Please help us ensure ILHC can continue to honor the legacy of Lindy Hop in Harlem, NY and around the world!
Unlike many events, ILHC operates under the aegis and expertise of the Houston Swing Dance Society [HSDS], a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Donations are generally tax deductible in the United States and certain other foreign jurisdictions. HSDS Federal Tax ID: 76-0532098.
DonateEvery Donation Counts!
No pledge is too small! ILHC relies on patrons’ generosity to help fund our efforts and make Lindy Hop accessible to people worldwide. This year, it is vital for us to raise funds so we can continue to build a global Lindy Hop community—past, present and future!
Your donations help fuel our mission, including our event program, youth program, legacy commitments, and swing dance museum. For example, covering youth program expenses and travel for juniors and Lindy Hop elders, sponsoring a competition or class and creating opportunities for African American dancers to attend.
