About California Immigrant Policy Center
California Immigrant Policy Center’s recent giving shows a strong emphasis on immigrant advocacy infrastructure: scenario planning, coalition leadership, legal services, and statewide health enrollment work. In 2025, the funder supported organizations carrying out REP4ALL, ONECA, and scenario planning leadership, including a grant of $88,392 to Cair-la (Council on American-Islamic Relations) in Anaheim and $83,592 to Community Action Board of Santa Cruz Co Inc in Watsonville. Those awards sit alongside a broader portfolio aimed at policy advocacy, regional coalition capacity building, strategic communications, and immigrant-serving legal and public-benefit programs. The foundation also backs community-facing work tied to Health4All, civic participation, and safety efforts, indicating that its grants are not limited to one service channel. A 2023 general operating support grant to California Immigrants in Action and a 2025 health enrollment grant to Maternal and Child Health Access show that it funds both advocacy organizations and direct outreach providers. Across the recent grants list, its giving pattern centers immigrant communities in California while supporting organizations that can move policy, enrollment, and public education work forward at regional scale.
What California Immigrant Policy Center Funds
Health and public benefits access is a clear grantmaking theme. California Immigrant Policy Center gave $29,000 to Maternal and Child Health Access in Los Angeles for Health4All outreach, education, and enrollment assistance, and it made multiple $28,000 awards for the same purpose to groups including Filipino Migrant Center in Long Beach, Todec Legal Center in Perris, and Survivors of Torture International in San Diego. The foundation also supports immigrant legal and policy capacity. In 2025 it awarded $81,960 to Services Immigrant Rights & Education Network in San Jose for REP4ALL, ONECA advocacy, and scenario planning leadership, and $81,960 to Education and Leadership Foundation in Fresno for the same work. Civic participation appears as another strand through programs such as Somos Votantes, while community safety and communications work are also part of the taxonomy attached to the funder’s grants.
How California Immigrant Policy Center Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered around the $10,000 level: the p25 is $8,900, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $11,375. The recent grant list also includes a larger set of program awards in the $20,000 to $88,392 range, which suggests both standard-size grants and a smaller number of higher-capacity program investments. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder, not a DAF-advised or individual-giving vehicle. Recent grants appear in both 2023 and 2025, with repeated support for general operating and program work across years, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards only.
