Appendix B: State-by-State Comparisons

This is a state-by-state comparison of foundation funding benefitting immigrants and refugees and benefitting the pro-immigrant and pro-refugee movement, with funding from all U.S. foundations and from foundations based in the same state as the recipient. Each comparison is a per capita analysis that shows the amount of grant dollars for each category per immigrant living in the region.

*Total funding for each state or region may be overestimated because the data may include funding to national organizations located in the state or region that serve other states and regions.
