HIAS Foundation supports HIAS in leading the Jewish movement for refugees and asylum seekers in the U.S. We educate, organize, and mobilize American Jews to put their values into action and fight for refugees.
We educate the U.S. Jewish community, activate Jewish leadership, and lead grassroots organizing and advocacy efforts to promote rights and services for immigrants. Together, we work to promote understanding of immigrant and refugee issues, and to support volunteers and advocates to take action in ways that are compelling and effective.
Through developing educational resources and public programs, we expand the knowledge and capacity of existing activists and reach those who are newly engaged. We are grateful for our Jewish community base, grassroots network, clergy council, and organizational partners, with whom we work to raise up the Jewish community’s support for refugees and immigrants.
HIAS also engages Jewish communities in the United Kingdom, Europe, and South Africa.
