Application: The Rural Welcoming Initiative

Welcoming America is continuing its commitment in rural communities. Through a competitive initiative, we will engage ten new rural communities in strengthening welcoming. Through technical assistance and coaching; complimentary Welcoming America membership; and access to ongoing learning opportunities, participating communities will build inclusion and become part of the welcoming movement.
Immigrant community-based organizations and nonprofits of color are encouraged to apply.
