GCIR envisions a society in which everyone thrives no matter where they born. Through our work with foundations across the country, we seek to mobilize philanthropic resources to promote the protection, wellbeing, and inclusion of immigrant and refugee communities by liberating philanthropic capital, amplifying the leadership of immigrants and refugees, addressing the conditions driving displacement, and supporting a robust immigrant and power-building ecosystem. We recognize the tremendous work being done by movement organizations every day to advance policy reforms at the local, state, and federal levels, and our 2024 policy agenda echoes these priorities.
This initiative was established in 2017 in order to achieve two goals: to ensure that hard-to-count populations in California are accurately counted, and to build a stronger movement infrastructure across the state.
Becoming a GCIR member makes it possible for us to continue providing vital services to grantmakers and guide timely and strategic philanthropic responses to address the most pressing issues facing immigrants and refugees.
