What is the Immigration Frontlines Fund?

FFF’s Immigration Frontlines Fund is a national, large-scale, rapid response fund aimed at defending and protecting immigrant communities while building toward a more welcoming, inclusive future for all. To counter the resurgence of anti-immigrant politics and hate, the Immigration Frontlines Fund will marshal and move millions of new dollars in order to scale up a robust network of rapid response hubs across the country, swiftly deploy vital resources around mass mobilization opportunities, and defend immigrant leaders and nonprofit organizations.

Meeting the Moment

For more than twenty years, Four Freedoms Fund has provided catalytic, responsive funding for immigrant-led organizations to address to crises facing their communities and to transform these crisis moments into power-building opportunities. Based on our 20-year track record, we know what works: organizing and advocacy at the state and local level for policies that effectively blunt mass deportations, such as sanctuary policies; mobilizing a groundswell of opposition and coordinated mass actions, like those against family separations and the Muslim travel ban; and building grassroots power to win protections for immigrant communities, including TPS. Working in both hostile and welcoming states across the country, FFF grantee partners have demonstrated that an organized community is a safe community.

With the ever-changing immigration landscape, FFF’s Immigration Frontlines Fund provides a vehicle for funders to quickly mobilize and channel resources to immigrant rights organizations and allies in 38 states in moments of opportunity and crisis

FFF’s Immigration Frontlines Fund was recently highlighted as a “bright spot” for immigrant communities.
