The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) released an eight-page report titled, "State of Foundation Funding for the Pro-Immigrant Movement," which explores immigrant rights philanthropy from 2014 through 2016.
The report questions: Can philanthropy that supports immigrant rights make a difference?
There are three key findings from the report: Support for immigrants' rights groups had a narrow base; few dollars went to state and local groups; and states that hurt the most got the least funding.
That said, the NCRP report aims less to cast blame than provide direction going forward. The report was authored by Ryan Schlegel, Stephanie Peng and Timi Gerson.
