Join us for this delicious fundraiser benefitting the academic support programs of IMANI.

Choose from 4 types of handmade dumplings:

IMANI Signature Spicy Jerk Chicken
mildly spicy with a smokey pineapple dipping sauce
Chicken & Corn
juicy and light with a Chinese black vinegar dipping sauce
Fussy Vegan
deeply savory vegetable dumpling with a soy vinegar dipping sauce
Ricotta, Parmesan & Spinach
pasta on the outside looking into a cheesy (healthy!) filling... it stands alone without a dipping sauce

All dumplings are crafted by a hearty band of volunteers trained by Dumpling Diplomacy. Dumplings are only available for pre-order, but patrons can choose to pick them up or dine on site and strike up a conversation with new friends.

Busy on March 14th? Feed young minds by making a donation to IMANI right on this page.

Founded in 1999, IMANI is a community-based organization that collaborates with school administrators, teachers, parents, and volunteers to advance educational equity, expand access, and create a culture of academic success in the Montclair Public Schools. IMANI provides focused academic and social support to meet the needs of diverse learners in grades K-12 and prepare them to handle more rigorous coursework as they progress through each grade level. By guiding students through the college admissions process, the IMANI College Advocacy Center has helped hundreds of students gain admittance to highly competitive colleges and universities around the country. IMANI is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible, as allowed by law.

Dumpling Diplomacy is pleased to donate 100% of the proceeds from our First Annual Patricio Fundraiser to IMANI. As a social enterprise dedicated to bringing communities together across all divides, we use our profits to create innovative programming and to support organizations that share our vision. Cuts in long-standing sources of funding are jeopardizing IMANI's educational initiatives to narrow the achievement gap in our schools. We invite the public to join us by purchasing handmade dumplings and donating generously.
