Make a Difference for New York’s Immigrants on Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a way to inspire people to get into the holiday spirit and participate in a global day of giving. It is a special opportunity for everyone to give a helping hand to local charities through the gift of your donation following Black Friday. On Giving Tuesday, many nonprofit boards and supporters pledge to match donations, maximizing your impact – no matter the size.
Capalino encourages our friends and partners to consider donating to organizations that serve our City’s immigrants, who have contributed tremendously to New York’s economic success.
Below, we’ve curated a list of local organizations you might consider supporting today:
- The New York Immigration Coalition: an advocacy organization composed of 200+ groups that serve NYC’s immigrant community. It has become a leading advocate for immigrants on both the local and national levels.
- Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights: works to educate, defend, and protect the rights of immigrants. It is committed to expanding access to legal immigration services, participating in policy making and community organizing.
- Make the Road New York: builds the power of Latino and other working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice. It utilizes community organizing and legal services to rewrite unjust laws and make democracy feasible for every person.
