Who they Are

Brooklyn Community Foundation Immigrant Rights Fund was founded in late 2016 in
response to mounting uncertainty and fear within New York’s immigrant communities,
combined with reports of xenophobic and racist attacks nationwide, and the creation
exclusionary government policies.

Why We Love Them

The $1 million fund is designed to support both the immediate and long-term needs
of immigrants across New York City. Brooklyn Community Foundation has created similar
rapid-response funds in the wake of Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and the Haiti Earthquake
in 2010. The organization’s approach ensures that it supports the most urgent community
needs while planning for a long-term response.

What They Need

The Immigrant Rights Fund will support both the immediate and long-term needs of
immigrants across New York City, while strengthening collaboration among
immigrant-serving nonprofits. Funds will support neighborhood-based, immigrant-led
organizations working on the frontlines to address legal, safety, and civil rights issues.
