More than 40 million people around the world have been uprooted from their homelands due to social, economic, and political strife.

Where do they come from; what brings them to our shores; and what challenges do they face in building a new life in this country? Explore the role funders can play in ensuring a smooth resettlement and integration of these immigrants into the fabric of our society.
