ICA Gala 2026

Indians for Collective Action's 2026 gala runs Sunday, October 4, 2026 starting 5:00 PM PDT at the Crowne Plaza, 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. The theme on the live Givebutter campaign is Collective Action For A Better Tomorrow, centered on environment and sustainability. The campaign targets $250,000 for ICA's philanthropic work; treat the live thermometer as directional inventory for gifts and table packages rather than a fixed ticket menu alone. Expect a Bay Area Indian philanthropy dinner format with fundraising and peer networking, not a founder pitch day.

ICA is a Bay Area Indian American philanthropic organization founded in 1968, which is the Circuit quality signal: a decades-long named host, a re-checkable Givebutter path, and a Palo Alto room that compounds civic and business allies year to year. Start on the Givebutter earth-action page for current gift tiers and any ticket or table instructions the host posts. El Camino Real Sunday evening traffic and hotel parking are part of the logistics. Confirm attire and program timing in your confirmation rather than assuming a standing mixer.

This is right for Bay Area Indian American donors, nonprofit operators, and corporate partners who already work environment or community-giving corridors and can clear a gala price point. Skip it if you need a SEMICON Japan Night reception or a free AI showcase. Bring one concrete gift or partnership ask, and know whether you are buying a seat, a table, or a campaign gift before you wire money. Peninsula Sunday timing still needs a real buffer before 5:00 PM.

If Japan Night during SEMICON West is your semiconductor networking slot later in October, use this Sunday for ICA philanthropy density instead. Start on the live Givebutter page, confirm campaign and seating instructions, and re-check Crowne Plaza details closer to October 4 if ICA posts a program update.
