In today’s challenging landscape, nonprofit organizations serving immigrant and refugee communities are facing unprecedented pressures. Since recent federal funding cuts, nearly 40% of nonprofits in this space have closed their doors, and refugee resettlement organizations have been forced to shrink by half. Within the first 100 days of the current administration alone, there have been at least over 10 executive orders and actions impacting immigrants and immigration policy — creating an even more hostile environment for the people we serve.
Yet, disruption also brings opportunity.
