GCIR envisions a society in which everyone thrives no matter where they born. Through our work with foundations across the country, we seek to mobilize philanthropic resources to promote the protection, wellbeing, and inclusion of immigrant and refugee communities by liberating philanthropic capital, amplifying the leadership of immigrants and refugees, addressing the conditions driving displacement, and supporting a robust immigrant and power-building ecosystem. We recognize the tremendous work being done by movement organizations every day to advance policy reforms at the local, state, and federal levels, and our 2024 policy agenda echoes these priorities.
In this webinar, funders will learn from experts on the ground about their efforts to champion universal representation and how philanthropy can resource and support their work.
