Greater Philadelphia draws people from around the world to live within its borders, contributing to our collective resilience, prosperity, and cultural richness. Ensuring that newcomer families and communities have what they need to thrive makes our region stronger.
The emergence of COVID-19 exposes and exacerbates inequities, creating unique and significant challenges for many immigrant and refugee communities. Join us on May 5th from 2:00-3:30 to learn more about the impact of COVID-19 on immigrant and refugee communities and organizations that serve them and how funders can direct their resources to build safety and strength among immigrant and refugee communities.
Registration closes promptly at the scheduled start time. Those who register in advance will be emailed the dial-in information around 8:00 AM on the morning of the video conference.
