ISAAC of Northern Colorado relies on donations from people like YOU to sustain our programs. With your donation, you are helping to create a community of conscience working in solidarity for human dignity and immigration justice while co-creating communities of welcome, recognition, empowerment and accompaniment. ISAAC of Northern Colorado is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.
The Accompaniment Fund assists community members in a number of important ways:
Our family crisis fund is for immigrant and refugee community members experiencing an emergency but struggling to access assistance from other sources due to immigration status, identification requirements, and other barriers.
Our immigration legal fund connects applicants to a network of excellent attorneys and provides scholarships on their cases. We focus in particular on asylum cases that involve children, unaccompanied migrant youth (SIJS), victims of crimes or trafficking, elderly and disabled clients, and DACA and work authorization renewals.
Our accompaniment fund also provides assistance to youth and adults in our leadership, training and professional development programs, such as Cultivamos Larimer County and Adelante, recognizing that low-income, historically marginalized community members struggle to participate in time consuming, skill-building programs without household financial assistance.
We host Quarterly Community Empowerment Clinics with all our partner organizations so that impacted community members can access resources all in one place rather than taking time off work to visit different offices. Accompaniment funds help offset the cost of these convenings by making sure all families that attend receive lunch and healthy snacks, and that children have access to child-centered craft and reading materials onsite.
It’s that time of year again! The fall is upon us, and over 100 newly arrived youth in our school district need winter gear and a little love!
With your donations we will supply all newcomer students in PSD Middle and High Schools with gear. The students are a mix of asylum seekers, unaccompanied youth, refugees, and the children of low-income immigrants and international students.
We provide hats, gloves and brand winter coats, for all students in the Newcomer program. We prefer to buy new, because youth arrive with just a backpack or small suitcase full of clothes. We want students to be warm for their very first or second Colorado winter, but we also want them to feel they have something nice to wear like all their peers.
We provide hygiene bags for youth with full-sized products in reusable grocery bags. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deoderant — it’s amazing how expensive these products are! We supply each student with a starter kit that will last their first month or more.
We distribute the gear during a fun fieldtrip to the mall! Students “shop” for their gear at the PSD Future Ready Center, and then they get to practice their English by ordering a fancy drink at the Lima Coffee stand on ISAAC. Some cohorts also go see a movie at Cinemark on us as a special outing!
Your donations make this distribution and super fun youth-centered day possible for everyone in the program! “Ecstatic” is an understated way to describe our students’ energy at the event last year!
For our faith communities wishing to covenant with us, give what you can. The first sixty dollars of your membership goes to support ISAAC staff and operating expenses. Anything more than that goes to the Accompaniment Fund or wherever the need is greatest. Read more about membership here.
