Timely Support for Immigrant Families & Children: Philanthropy Striving to Meet the Moment
This Online event was held on May 20, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Hosted by the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and Hispanics in Philanthropy
The Campaign for Grade Level Reading (CGLR) partnered with Hispanics in Philanthropy to host a Funder-to-Funder Conversation exploring the role that philanthropic organizations and collaboratives can play and are playing to mitigate the negative impact of changing immigration policies and practices, including accelerated deportation. This conversation will acknowledge that the decades long delay in adopting comprehensive immigration reform has contributed to the chaos, confusion, and trauma immigrant families are experiencing.
Shannon Rudisill, ECFC Executive Director joined philanthropic leaders working at the local, state, regional, and/or national levels to discuss the impacts of the current policy environment on the learning and well-being of immigrant children, lift up the work that grantees are doing in response, and illuminate how some funders are pursuing “more than money philanthropy” approaches.
