Immigrant and Community Resources for people in need of support, resources, and assistance in the Madison, Wisconsin area and surrounding communities. Wisconsin Immigrant Resources Information and Support for Immigrants in need Empowering Women Through Community The Vision for Our Community Resource Page For many years, as a founder, I received messages asking an important question: “Where can I donate to support immigrants and marginalized families in our community?” My go-to answers are often Centro’s Legal Defense Fund and Voces de la Frontera , trusted organizations doing essential work for immigrant rights. As these requests grew, I partnered with our website designer, Iris Designs, to create this simple, accessible resource page. This list is not meant to be comprehensive, but it offers a helpful snapshot of the local social-service landscape, highlighting organizations that support immigrants, women of color, LGBTQ+ communities, low-income families, and other historically marginalized groups. This page reflects years of community conversations, volunteer labor, and a commitment to connecting people with meaningful ways to give and get involved. Because it is volunteer-powered, the information may not always be fully up to date. If you notice missing information or corrections that should be made, please email us at info@midwestmujeres.com so we can continue refining this resource for the community. **Type in the search box for your keyword, and a list of resources or nonprofit organizations will appear for you to connect with. You can also scroll left to right and go through the categories.** Each organization has a website for you to research and donate to! United Way of Dane County is also a good organization to donate to. They provide funding to many local nonprofit organizations.

Quality Education is a Right Be the Change Agent for our Annual Event Lisa Rose In 2022, we conducted a membership survey of nearly 100 Latina and Black women, supervised by the Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health (MATCH) Group in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Data was collected via Google Forms and reflects the lived experiences and financial realities of our participants. Our findings revealed that over 75% of respondents qualified as low- to moderate-income, and 77% required childcare support to attend programs. Additionally, 88% believed the skills gained through our training would increase their income or benefit their business. Telling your story is Powerful Growing Together is Powerful These insights have shaped our programming, including Voices and Dreams Academy, which provides culturally grounded entrepreneurial training, storytelling, and financial literacy support.
