Madison International Partners (MIP) was originally launched in June 2008, as the International Outreach Ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church in Madison to extend welcome and hospitality services to internationals and promote in-depth, cross-cultural exchanges between Americans and internationals in the Madison area. MIP helps raise global awareness and foster better understanding among people of different races, cultures, religions, and social backgrounds.

In September 2016, Madison International Partners became a separate non-profit organization on its own and received Section 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service.

Madison International Partners offers dozens of programs and activities which serve about 3,500 people from the Madison area per year, including international visitors, international students, visiting scholars, their spouses and children. MIP’s programs and activities address most of the common issues internationals face such as culture shock, language barriers, homesickness, and connecting with Americans. Some of the programs run regularly throughout the year while others run on a periodic basis. Our programs and activities help internationals in the Madison community develop a more personal, positive understanding of America, while allowing Americans to develop a much greater understanding of the world.
