Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for immigration nonprofits?
Funding supports legal aid and representation, refugee resettlement and integration, immigrant rights advocacy, community organizing, and direct services. Private foundations fund advocacy and movement work, while federal programs through HHS and the Office of Refugee Resettlement support refugee services. Both program grants and general operating support are available.
Which foundations fund immigrant and refugee causes?
Dedicated funders include Unbound Philanthropy, one of the few foundations focused primarily on immigrants, along with the Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation. The Four Freedoms Fund, hosted by NEO Philanthropy, pools resources from many funders to support the immigrant-justice movement, and federal refugee funding comes through HHS and the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
What types of organizations are eligible?
Eligible organizations typically include legal aid groups, refugee assistance and resettlement programs, and immigrant-rights advocacy organizations. Foundation funders generally require 501(c)(3) status or a fiscal sponsor, while federal refugee programs have their own eligibility rules, often involving designated resettlement agencies or state partners.
