U.S.-Mexico Border Crisis
What's Happening and How to Help

Horrific gang violence and human rights abuses have forced thousands of families, individuals, and unaccompanied minors to flee their home countries and seek refuge in the U.S. These asylum seekers face arduous challenges along their journey to the U.S. border, and once reaching the U.S. they are susceptible to an immigrant-processing system severely lacking in infrastructure.

Our vetted nonprofit partners have been responding to the crisis on the border. You can support our partners’ efforts in protecting the human dignity of migrants - from projects in Tijuana ensuring migrant youth do not fall behind in their education, to organizations providing trauma healing to recently-detained children along the border.

This list of responding organizations and their projects will continue to grow as our partners in the affected areas have the capacity to post projects and updates.

Donations to the following projects have the potential to build stronger disaster-response capacity so that our nonprofit partners in the affected areas are better equipped to face future disasters. Read more about our approach to disaster relief here.

U.S. Border Crisis Children's Relief Fund

by Save the Children Federation

Children's rights continue to be violated at the border. Vulnerable and terrified, young boys and girls are being held in custody longer than the legal limit, being separated from their families, and more. Save the Children is on the ground at the U.S.-Mexico Border, assisting families who have been released from U.S. detention facilities. A donation to our U.S. Border Crisis Children's Relief Fund will support our programmatic and advocacy work at the border.
