About grants for immigration nonprofits

Immigration and refugee nonprofits are funded by a specialized set of foundations alongside federal resettlement programs. Dedicated private funders include Unbound Philanthropy, the Open Society Foundations, and the Ford Foundation, while pooled vehicles such as the Four Freedoms Fund (hosted by NEO Philanthropy) coordinate support for the immigrant-justice movement. Federal funding for refugee services flows through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its Office of Refugee Resettlement.
