About National Partnership for New Americans
National Partnership for New Americans centers immigrant- and refugee-led organizations in work on full citizenship, civic inclusion, and economic participation. One of its clearest recent signals is a $200,000 grant in 2025 to Houston Immigrant Legal Services Collaborative for full citizenship, alongside a $150,000 grant to Texas Inmigration Law Council for the same area. That pattern points to a funder that supports legal and organizing infrastructure, not just one-off projects. Its public grant list also shows repeated support for coalitions and community-based organizations working on naturalization, civic engagement, leadership development, and climate justice. The foundation’s recent grants include support for city and county partners as well as immigrant-serving nonprofits, suggesting a mix of advocacy, service delivery, and collaborative initiatives. The organization’s stated purpose is to advance immigrant and refugee inclusion, equity, and full civic, social, and economic participation by strengthening immigrant-led organizations and advocating for inclusive policies and programs. Its funding reaches groups working across citizenship access, immigrant integration, and movement-building efforts.
What National Partnership for New Americans Funds
Naturalization and citizenship access is a major theme in the portfolio. In 2025, National Partnership for New Americans gave $100,000 to Harris County for full citizenship and $50,000 to MI Familia Vota Education Fund for the same purpose. The foundation also supports legal and civic-infrastructure work, including $45,000 to The Resurrection Project for full citizenship. Immigrant integration and coalition work also appear repeatedly. It awarded $108,750 to Latin American Coalition in Charlotte for core program support, and $108,750 to Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama in Birmingham for the same area. In another strand of this work, Florida Immigrant Coalition received $80,000 for core program/WAAA support. Climate justice shows up through collaborative grants. Louisiana Organization for Refugees and Immigrants received $115,000 in 2025 for climate justice collaborative work, while Somos UN Pueblo Unido received $55,000 for climate justice collaborative support.
How National Partnership for New Americans Gives
The typical grant size is fairly concentrated around mid-five figures, with a p25 of $28,750, a median of $35,000, and a p75 of $79,375. The recent list also includes larger awards at $200,000, $150,000, and $143,750, indicating a layered strategy that combines larger anchor grants with many smaller operating and program awards. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Louisiana Organization for Refugees and Immigrants, Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition, Harris County, and MI Familia Vota Education Fund, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards.
