The voices of immigrants and refugees should be strongest when it comes to decisions that affect their communities. Too often they are not. The goal of the Elevating Migrant Leadership: Building Inclusive Futures Funding Opportunity is to shift power to where it belongs: to immigrants, refugees, and other communities whose voices are often unheard.
How? By supporting organizations that work with immigrants and refugees who are seeking to develop civic leadership and advocacy skills so they can more effectively influence the development of programs and policies that affect them and their communities.
In 2022, the WES Mariam Assefa Fund conducted a series of stakeholder interviews to understand what our partners and the field thought was needed to build more inclusive communities. As a result, the Fund launched a participatory grantmaking initiative and recruited an Advisory Committee that comprised immigrant and refugee leaders with deep expertise to help shape and lead this initiative. The Committee determined the need to prioritize supporting immigrant and refugee leaders to strengthen their influence in shaping their futures.
The California Advanced Services Fund Broadband Adoption Account is offering grants to enhance publicly available or after-school broadband access and digital inclusion. The California Public Utilities Commission prioritizes programs in communities with demonstrated low broadband access, focusing on low-income communities, senior citizen communities, and those with socioeconomic barriers to broadband adoption. Eligible projects include digital literacy training programs, public education for communities facing limited broadband adoption, and initiatives providing free broadband access in public spaces like government centers, senior citizen centers, schools, libraries, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. Eligible applicants encompass businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies, with the Commission funding up to 85% of eligible program costs, requiring the remaining costs to be covered by other sources.
