Understanding The Experience Of Immigrants For Effective Grantmaking

Host Organization: Florida Philanthropic Network

About

Our time in Orlando will explore the experiences of farmworker communities including youth as well as the intersections of immigrant and LGBTQ communities. We will visit a community center in nearby Apopka to learn about migrant farmworker families, their contributions to the region, and the challenges facing this rural community.  We will return to Orlando to learn from local leaders and funders about economic integration efforts as well as the needs of LGBTQ immigrants. Many of those whose lives were taken at the Pulse nightclub shooting were undocumented immigrants. This tragedy put the issue of immigration on the radar of local elected officials, funders, service providers and advocates. Time will be allocated for discussion with philanthropic colleagues about strategic priorities and effective grantmaking.
