When someone is pulled into incarceration, detention, or deportation, the harm doesn’t stop with them. It reaches their parents, their children, their partners, their whole community. New Breath Foundation resources the grassroots organizations already doing the work of responding to that harm: legal support, case management, cultural reconnection, and the kind of capacity-building that lets a volunteer-run group become self-sustaining.
That support doesn’t end when the grant check clears.
We partner with our We Got Us Fund grantees through coaching, connections to other funders, training, and the kind of convenings where organizers finally get to rest alongside each other. We Got Us Fund partners also help decide where the next round of funding goes: submitting nominations and taking part in grant reviews.
This year, we welcomed four new We Got Us Fund partners: Cal Defense and Collective Freedom, both working on detention and deportation defense in Southeast Asian communities, and Project Koa Yoga and SWOP Hawaii, both building trauma-informed, culturally rooted programs in Hawai’i.
We’re committed to this work, and right now, a year-end gift goes twice as far. A generous donor and committed supporter is matching every gift dollar for dollar, up to $25,000.
Donate today to help us meet and exceed our matching gift.
