Make a Financial Donation
Your financial support helps refugees and asylum seekers – individuals and families — fully integrate into our community.
The federal funding freeze instituted in January 2025 has threatened vital support for newly arrived refugees. The Refugee and Immigrant Services Program (RISP) faces an unprecedented challenge. While our organization remains operational thanks to diverse funding sources, federal support for newly arrived refugee families has been frozen indefinitely. This sudden change threatens our ability to provide critical rent assistance, essential basic needs, and vital support services during their crucial first months in America.
We need your financial support now! The executive order has cut federal funding for all critical support services. We now need additional donations to fund:
- Emergency rental assistance
- Public transportation passes
- Education and tuition fees
- Employment-related expenses
- School supplies
- Clothing and necessities
Your donation – regardless of size – provides more than just material support. It sends a powerful message that our community stands with refugees during their most vulnerable time.

Would you consider making a monthly donation?
Regular, recurring donations make budgeting a lot easier, and it’s easy for you too! Sign up once, and it’s done. Even giving a small amount each month helps, and especially if many people give regularly. And of course you can stop or change your donation at any time. Follow the instructions above and choose “Monthly” under “Giving Frequency.”
