Look at what we’ve accomplished together in 2025! This year was an especially trying year for asylum seekers and refugees. Your support enabled us to increase our impact and help more people than ever take crucial steps towards safety and security. THANK YOU!  You can read more in our 2025 Annual Impact Report. 

Help make 2026 a good year for someone seeking asylum or other immigration protections by making a tax-deductible donation.

Happy New Year!

Now is the time to make your contribution go twice as far! A generous anonymous donor has committed to matching all donations made between now and December 15.

Our Translation Stops Deportation campaign ensures asylum seekers and other refugees have all the evidence they need to support their claim for asylum. More and more of our clients are fighting deportation from detention. They have fled war, torture, political repression, and gender-based and anti-LGBTQ+ violence, risking their lives to reach safety for themselves and their family only to be unlawfully detained while in the middle of legal proceedings.

To make a strong case for their need for asylum and refuge, they must translate every piece of evidence they have, from police reports, hospital bills, and court documents, to death threats, online harassment, and letters of support. This is where Refugee Translation Project comes in. We provide these services for free to individuals, many of whom have lost everything and have no other means to obtain these translations.

Because of you and your generosity, we can sustain and expand our crucial work. Thank you!
