Go Beyond Philanthropy
We invite our corporate partners to join us in the work of welcoming and supporting New Americans on their path to a better life.
Partnership with our colleagues in the private sector is truly transformative—not just for the refugees and immigrants who benefit from the support, but for our partners, too.
Global Refuge is made stronger every day by the generous support of our corporate partners. We are proud to have the support of organizations of all sizes, from around the country, and in all industry sectors. These partners provide us with funding, volunteer service, and help us create welcoming workplaces and stable career pathways for immigrants and refugees.
There are many ways to get involved, and we invite companies to join us in our commitment to the work of welcome.
