As of January 1, 2024, we are formally sunsetting Mass UndocuFund and have stopped accepting donations.  

We’re so proud of the work that we accomplished over the past four years.  

Here’s a snapshot:  

  • Total checks dispersed: 4,702 

  • Total direct aid dispersed: $1,596,500 

  • Total $300 checks: 4,435 

  • Total amount dispersed: $1,330,500 

  • Total $1000 checks: 266 to individuals and families  

  • Total amount dispersed: $266,000 to individuals and families  

  • Led our coalition and community in a moment of crisis, starting the very first Covid-relief fund in the state giving directly to workers and community members 

  • Built a working partnership of over 13 immigrant rights organizations and worker centers across the Commonwealth 

  • Trained and built leadership of more than 90 volunteers, many of whom who were directly affected by immigration issues, who facilitated one on one conversations with Mass UndocuFund families, facilitated direct assistance into the recipients’ hands, and shared resources with them 

  • Conducted more than 4,800 one on one conversations with immigrants across the state 

  • Built an encrypted database to securely receive and maintain sensitive information regarding Mass UndocuFund families  

  • Outreached to more than 15,000 immigrant families via social media, television, ethnic television, relationships with movement partners and coalition members, and word of mouth 

  • Fundraised more than $1.6 million in grants and individual donations, with an average individual contribution of $134.26 

  • Created and maintained a Resource Guide and a list of Emergency Relief Funds which our volunteers translated to more than eight languages to help community members to find resources and other forms of mutual or direct aid in their city or town  

  • Built a supportive space for all where volunteers, workers & artists shared the proceeds from Forro dance classes, a Children’s book about migration, improv shows, Roller Derby matches, and many more creative ideas and projects 

 

Currently we at Mass Jobs with Justice are regranting more than $100,000 of the remaining Mass UndocuFund direct aid funds to partner organizations to disperse to their members. As always, we are working with our trusted community leaders and community-based organizations:
