The second quarter meeting of GCIR's California Immigrant Integration Initiative (CIII).
Ivy Suriyopas has been appointed as the new Vice President of Programs at Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), effective May 12, 2021.
As Americans face troubling new barriers to vote, is philanthropy ready to help?
The historic 2020 U.S. presidential election is over, and the will of the people has prevailed. A record number of people cast their votes, not just for the next president of the United States but also for the kind of country they wish America to be: vibrant, inclusive, welcoming.
In these tumultuous times when people the world over are experiencing fear, distress, and uncertainty in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, GCIR is leaning into our core values to guide how we mobilize philanthropy to support immigrant families and communities in the United States. We believe this moment calls for philanthropy to lead with courage to advance an inclusive, equitable, and holistic response. Philanthropic action must not only address urgent needs but reflect a vision that all Americans, no matter where they were born, are united with one another in the face of this devastating public health crisis.

Thank you for everyone who attended the Bay Area Funders' Regional meeting.
As a funder, what does it mean then to be attentive to the needs of immigrants and refugees within the context of a broader housing crisis? How can funding strategies contribute to better housing outcomes across a diversity of households? Join us for a discussion with immigrant justice field leaders from different cities to address these questions as we explore the intersection of housing justice and immigrant justice.
This four-page timeline summarizes immigrant and refugee policy developments and philanthropic responses from 1990 to 2020.
In this webinar, funders who are committed to intersectional grantmaking and transformational change, along with those who may not yet apply an anti-ableist approach, will learn from experts on the ground about the ways philanthropy can resource and support work taking place at the intersection of disability and immigrant justice.
