Foundational Giving
When your foundation partners with Global Refuge, you join a national movement to welcome and support refugees and immigrants as they rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Through strategic grantmaking, your investment fuels both urgent response and long-term solutions—from housing and legal services to workforce development and wrap-around care. Together, we can create more inclusive, resilient communities where newcomers have the tools and support they need to thrive.
To learn more, get started, or schedule a Lunch & Learn for your team, email Hannah Freedberg. Let’s explore how your foundation can help provide critical support for immigrants in the US, Guatemala, and Mexico.
With over 85 years of experience, Global Refuge is a trusted nonprofit leader in refugee resettlement and immigrant integration. Our proven track record, national reach, and deep local connections uniquely position us to deliver high-impact programs and drive systemic change. Foundation partners are critical to sustaining and scaling this mission—building pathways to stability, opportunity, and belonging for thousands of individuals and families each year.
Your foundation’s grantmaking can support a wide range of high-impact initiatives, including:
• Welcome Centers – Our one-stop hubs offer essential resources, information, and wraparound support to help newcomers navigate their new lives in the U.S.
• New American Lending – This initiative provides financial access and guidance to help newcomers start businesses, build credit, and achieve economic self-sufficiency.
• Legal Services – We ensure refugees and immigrants receive expert legal support to navigate complex immigration systems and secure their rights.
• International Programming – Through Camino a Casa, Global Refuge offers holistic support to families in Guatemala and Mexico, expanding access to education, employment, and long-term stability, and helping them envision a secure future in their home country.
• Workforce Development – Our employment services include job readiness training, credential translation, certifications, and direct pathways to employment through our Preferred Refugee Employer network.
In moments of crisis, Global Refuge responds swiftly with emergency housing, legal aid, trauma support, and basic necessities. Foundations play a critical role in enabling this work through flexible, unrestricted funding, emergency response grants, or rapid deployment of in-kind resources. Your support ensures we can act quickly and effectively when families need it most.
