ILRC PROGRAM AREAS The ILRC works with immigrants, community organizations, legal professionals, law enforcement, and policymakers to help improve the lives of immigrants. Our work on a broad range of issues directly impacts immigrant families and the community through our three program areas.

IMMIGRANT LEGAL RESOURCE CENTER Teaching, Interpreting, & Changing Law Since 1979

Our policy work focuses on immigration reform, MISSION Department of Homeland Security policies, and many other issues affecting immigrants and their families. The mission of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) is to work with and educate immigrants, community organizations, and the legal sector to continue to build a democratic society that values diversity and the rights of all people. We engage immigrants in mobilizing and raising their voices on issues critical to their communities. MESSAGE FROM THE ILRC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The ILRC spent 2018 fighting for the rights of We provide technical legal assistance, trainings, and immigrants and their families, thanks, in part, to the outpouring of support from individuals and publications to immigration law practitioners and organizations like you. Attacks on immigration community-based organizations. processes and policies did not let up. One of the most heartbreaking and galvanizing assaults on immigrant and human rights was the current administration’s policy of separating families seeking asylum, or other relief, at our borders. The ILRC responded by creating critical resources and preparing legal professionals and community groups to best protect and defend those caught up in this unnecessary cruelty.

The ILRC refuses to believe that relentlessly assailing immigrant rights is the new normal in this country. In order to push back against the government’s systematic attempt to disenfranchise immigrants, in 2018, the ILRC grew its staff by six to bolster our expertise and grow our bandwidth to address a long- term strategy to help restore and repair the immigration system and to build our capacity to rapidly respond to crises affecting those in immigrant communities. Your investment in our work helped to make all of this possible. Thank you for believing in our mission.

1 Eric Cohen FINANCIAL POSITION Rising to meet the challenge to protect and defend immigrants and their families in 2018, the ILRC maintained a solid financial standing throughout the year. Institutional giving increased by 8% from its previous record-breaking year in 2017. Individual giving contributions remained healthy, posting its second highest year for revenue in the ILRC’s history. The ILRC welcomed over 400 new donors and tripled the number of donors making monthly recurring donations. Thank you for investing in our work and for helping to build the capacity in the immigrant rights field.

The ILRC is proud to share that 91 cents of every dollar raised is spent on delivering our programs and that only 3 cents of each dollar raised is spent on fundraising-related costs.

The ILRC continued to partner with nonprofits across the country to deliver services to immigrant communities through our regranting program. Institutional funders committed to supporting the immigrant rights movement trust the ILRC to know what issues are the most urgent to invest in and what program partners are doing the most critical, and oftentimes, grassroots work. These institutional supporters award the ILRC funding specifically to redistribute to nonprofits across the country. This helps to underwrite the work of key program partners, bolstering the impact we can all have in the field. In 2018, the ILRC distributed grants to 90 nonprofit organizations working to advance the rights of immigrants, an increase of 15% over 2017. ILRC BY THE NUMBERS 2018
