Overview

Newcomers Fund Grant Established in December 2022, the Newcomers Fund provides grants to nonprofits that are meeting the vital needs of immigrants in our community, including temporary and permanent housing, basic needs, and health and mental health support. Administered by Rose Community Foundation, the Fund is led by a steering committee that includes representatives from the City and County of Denver, the State of Colorado, The Denver Foundation, Latino Community Foundation of Colorado, and Mile High United Way. The Newcomers Fund Steering Committee is currently prioritizing support for organizations that provide access to immigration legal services, know your rights trainings and family preparedness programming, narrative change on the topic of immigration, and continuity of supports for previously ORR-eligible refugee populations and other immigrant populations that have lost access to services. Funding Funding amounts will be determined based on the breadth and depth of impact in addition to the total amount available to grant.
