We joined dozens of other non-profits at the Overture Center’s International Festival in March.

The annual festival is a free, all-day event that invites the community to explore the many cultures that call Madison home, and thousands of people attend.

It was a wonderful day to celebrate culture, community and connection, and to showcase beautiful, handmade African imports. We thank everyone who stopped by the booth to share stories, express support, or just say “hi”. What a pleasure and honor to know that so many people in Madison are passionate about and invested in our cause.

Stay tuned and be on the lookout for the isintu team at other local fairs and festivals throughout the year!

Our 2024 spring fundraiser, held in honor of Aidan’s 21st birthday,  was attended by nearly eighty friends, neighbors and co-workers, and exceeded its fundraising goal of $9,000.

Our fundraising focus this year was Madison’s smallest non-profit recovery center, 5 Door Recovery. Its special mission is to serve people with substance use disorder who lack private health insurance. Mary Haberman, Project Director, spoke about the work of her organization, which is a critical pillar of Madison’s recovery landscape.

Despite scrupulous care, the center operates at a loss, relying on donations to fund the gap. Covering this shortfall secures life-saving, local treatment for those who have the fewest options. This event’s proceeds will fund the 30-day program shortfall for five people.
