The Advancing Economic Justice Community of Practice is designed to bring together funders engaged in, or interested in exploring, grantmaking practices that support positive economic outcomes for immigrant and refugee communities.
In partnership with Northern California Grantmakers we invite you to explore how California can remain a pro-immigrant state while the shifts in federal policies and funding retraction dismantle the protections for immigrants across the nation.
In this webinar, we’ll review some of the topline themes that animated the first 100 days of the Trump presidency and will explore how federal policy developments have played out in local and state contexts. This program will give funders the opportunity to learn how philanthropy can support efforts to defend immigrant rights and our multiracial democracy, building on the 100 day policy state-of-play GCIR will release in early May.
We invite you to join us on May 22nd for the next in-person meeting of the California Immigrant Inclusion Initiative (CIII). The group facilitates funder engagement, creates opportunities for funders to leverage the collective impact of their grantmaking, and fortify funding for the immigrant justice field in California.
Join GCIR to learn how multi-issue groups working to build an inclusive multiracial democracy are deploying strategies that address the needs of migrant communities in an increasingly hostile environment.
In this rapidly changing policy landscape, GCIR will hold a community call to facilitate joint sensemaking, funder mobilization, and collective action. This meeting will be open to GCIR members and non-members alike who want to stay up to date on philanthropic efforts to defend immigrants and refugees and who would like to come together with peers to learn and connect across geographies.
In this moment, it is essential that funders committed to the well-being of children and youth respond to these attacks on the rights, safety and stability of children in immigrant households. In this webinar, movement leaders from across the country will share the strategies they are using to combat these threats and create the conditions for all children to thrive, including those who live in immigrant families.
Join us on June 9th for a conversation with Zen master and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Wong about visionary strategy, collective practice, and what leaps we need to make in a time of maximum fear.
GCIR is organizing a site visit to Northwest Arkansas to complement the GSP 2025 Convening for funders and philanthropic-supporting organizations. Arkansas is one of the top five poultry processing states in the nation and has one of the highest concentrations of farmworkers. Immigrants have helped catalyze communities in the northwestern part of the state, a region which would otherwise have experienced significant population decline.
