The Time to Act is Now
Thank you for taking the crucial step to learn more about how you can help. The federal funding freeze instituted in January 2025 isn't just a policy change—it represents real families with names, faces, and dreams suddenly left without the promised support during their most vulnerable time in a new country.
The administration's new immigration policies have created unprecedented uncertainty in refugee and immigrant services. While we seek clarity from the administration, vulnerable families wait for bureaucratic resolutions.
Standing Together When It Matters Most
Our local immigrant neighbors may feel increased concern during this transition, which is why we're strengthening, not reducing, our support services. With your help, we can ensure that no family faces interruption in critical assistance. RISP's experienced staff continues to advocate at all levels to minimize disruptions while maximizing support.
While we have confidence in our ability to weather this funding challenge, we cannot do it without community support. Your donation provides stability and certainty that allows us to reassure every client that our commitment to them remains unwavering.
Your Gift Makes an Immediate Difference
Please donate now! Because a welcoming community doesn't wait for politics to catch up with humanity.
For years, RISP has helped refugee families rebuild shattered lives and find stability in their new home. Each family we serve has fled unimaginable circumstances, seeking safety and the chance to contribute to our community.
Without immediate funding, these life-changing services will disappear exactly when families need them most.
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.
The strength of our program has always been this community's unwavering commitment to our immigrant neighbors. Today, we're asking you to strengthen that commitment with a gift that says loudly and clearly: "You belong here. You matter here. We stand with you."
When a refugee mother can pay rent this month, when a father can take the bus to his new job, when a child has the supplies needed for school—these moments of dignity and opportunity happen because people like you chose to act.
