Description
Over the last four years, significant damage has been done to the infrastructure that protects asylum seekers and refugees coming to the U.S. From limited shelter capacity to harmful narratives complicating reform efforts, real obstacles stand in the way of the U.S. mounting a robust humanitarian response. Fortunately, NGOs on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border have deep experience providing critical services along the migration route.
Join GCIR and Hispanics in Philanthropy for a two-part series with experts from the field to understand challenges and opportunities on the border and the role philanthropy can play. This series is open to interested funders in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California, as well national funders with the ability to deploy funds in these regions.
