2024 Election Scenario Planning: Immigrant Justice SWOT for Philanthropy

Elections are an essential expression of our democracy, and movement organizations play a crucial role in that democratic exercise by mobilizing their communities to have their voices heard at the ballot box. For funders, the All by April campaign was a clear call to action, highlighting the necessity of early and flexible support to allow these frontline organizations to kick their operations into high gear.

However, the work for philanthropy is not over. In addition to resourcing civic engagement efforts in the run-up to elections, funders must also stand ready to strategically deploy resources in response to what comes once the elections are over.

From the risk of increasingly harsh enforcement policies at the federal level to openings to push for more inclusive policies at the state and local levels, immigrant justice groups have been carefully considering the threats and opportunities associated with a variety of congressional and presidential election outcome scenarios. In this webinar, funders will gain insights into their early thinking on potential movement strategies and needs.

This session represents one of several spaces GCIR and our allies will be holding for philanthropy to prepare and respond to the upcoming elections, with additional opportunities including GCIR’s 2024 national convening in Detroit (October 28-30), and post-election strategy sessions (dates TBA).
