Description
This grant opportunity, offered by the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation, is designed to support nonprofit organizations providing legal assistance and advocacy for immigrant women and gender-expansive individuals. The program prioritizes those facing detention, deportation, barriers to citizenship, or heightened vulnerability to abuse and violence. The Foundation seeks to fund organizations that address the unique challenges these groups encounter, such as language barriers, lack of legal resources, and fear of reporting abuse due to immigration status. Emphasis is placed on intersectional feminist approaches, programs led by women and gender-expansive people of color, and initiatives serving rural or migrant worker communities.
