Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

Donation to Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund (IRRF) is a coalition of philanthropic leaders rooted in communities most impacted by immigration-related harm. IRRF ensures that resources move quickly, responsibly, and with community accountability to trusted organizations responding to immigration-related emergencies across Minnesota.

As enforcement actions, policy changes, and sudden disruptions continue to impact immigrant and refugee families, IRRF provides rapid, community-informed funding to organizations on the frontlines of response, care, and protection.

This work is grounded in dignity, safety, equity, and solidarity. The fund is designed to add resources to communities—not replace existing support while strengthening coordination and collective response. We balance urgent needs with long-term community well-being.

Your support enables rapid, community-informed decisions with immediate impact.

We prioritize organizations that are culturally responsive, linguistically accessible, and deeply rooted in the communities they serve.

Funds are directed to organizations working to support:
• Urgent Basic Needs: Providing food, housing, transportation, health care and other essential emergent supports in response to attacks
• Urgent Legal Services: legal defense, due process support, and rights protection
• Mobilizing & Organizing: know-your-rights education, community safety planning, advocacy, and coalition-building

Funding supports work across the Twin Cities metro area and Greater Minnesota, including border communities in South Dakota and North Dakota.
