We know that funders face many challenges when attempting to make the case within their institutions for the value and importance of investing in immigrant communities. We also know that moving money to immigrant-led and immigrant-centered organizations can help foundations advance their strategic priorities, whether they relate to immigration explicitly or not. 

GCIR has developed a new messaging toolkit designed to support funders, especially those who are navigating hostile external environments, as they make the case to their leadership or peer communities for the value of supporting immigrants in their grantmaking strategies. 

Join GCIR staff for a strategy session in which we will: 

• Share compelling talking points linked to universal values and shared priorities.
• Address common concerns foundation leaders may raise.
• Offer concrete guidance on how to bring these messages into everyday philanthropic practice.

At the end of the session, we will have time to explore strategies for using these tools and for participants to share their experiences with making the case for supporting immigrant communities.
