Meet Our Donors

We have spent 25 years developing and delivering high-quality coaching and resources to help professionally qualified immigrants, refugees and asylees get back to their careers in the U.S. We love what we do – and we couldn’t do it without support from our donors.

Thanks to our donors, we’re able to offer our services, from one-on-one coaching to reskilling courses, 100% free. Together, we are working towards a brighter future and a stronger economy by ensuring immigrants have the opportunity to contribute their unique, hard-earned skills to their communities.

Gislaine Williams

Program Officer, Civic Engagement, Houston Endowment

“Houston Endowment is committed to ensuring that everyone in our diverse community has an opportunity to thrive. Upwardly Global offers a vital resource to immigrants and refugees seeking careers that match their skills and place them on a path to economic mobility. Our region is stronger when all residents can benefit from and contribute to an inclusive and vibrant economy.”

Carrie Varoquiers

Chief Philanthropy Officer, Workday

“The Workday Foundation is dedicated to creating career pathways that unleash human potential. Upwardly Global does just that — creates access to opportunity out of low-wage work so that immigrants and refugees can achieve economic mobility. When they are given the chance to flourish, the skills and talent immigrants and refugees bring to this country benefit much more than just that family — they benefit business through a more diverse workforce with unique perspectives.”

Tresa Eyres

Founder, Table Talk

“In 2005, I began donating money and volunteering my time as a facilitator of Upwardly Global’s jobseeker training programs. In the early days, the classes were small and took place around a conference table in the San Francisco office. Since then, I have continued to donate as well as assist in the development and delivery of a myriad of learning programs that now serve thousands. The joy of giving to Upwardly Global ‘gives back’ to me and ‘gives forward’ to many others.”
