Austin’s Sister Cities are living examples of how one connection and one shared experience can build lasting bonds that cross languages, cultures, and borders.

This fundraiser is about more than raising money. It’s an opportunity to invest in the next generation of artists, innovators, and cultural ambassadors who will continue strengthening Austin’s ties with the world. Your support helps keep those connections alive—one story, one exchange, and one friendship at a time.

ASCI’s Impact and Vision:

Facilitating ongoing educational, community, and business exchanges in Austin & globally through the sister city network.
Promoting understanding and reducing stereotypes within the international community.
Elevating Austin’s status as a vibrant, globally connected city.
Enhancing Austin’s global visibility through the expansion of its sister city network.

As President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, "I have long believed that peaceful relations between nations requires understanding and mutual respect between individuals. If only people will get together, then so eventually will nations."
