Funders
MPI’s research and public engagement are chiefly supported by a diversified group of foundations, individuals, and nonprofits, with some support also coming from governments and businesses.
These generous investments permit MPI to provide and widely share thoughtful, evidence-informed, research and analysis of migration, immigrant integration, and humanitarian protection policies and trends in the United States and internationally, as well as to advance pragmatic policy ideas that work in the interests of society broadly.
Donors contribute to MPI's research activities and overall operations through one-time and multiyear gifts. If you are interested in supporting MPI's work and joining our vibrant community of supporters, please click here for information.
