The Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington has selected the Centreville Immigration Forum (CIF) to be part of the Class of 2017-18. CIF has undergone an extensive review process to meet the Catalogue’s standards.
Founded in 2007, the mission of the Centreville Immigration Forum is to implement sustainable programs that provide immigrants in need with the means to improve their lives and become more integrated into the community; improve communication and cooperation among all groups serving immigrants; and build community recognition of our strength in diversity. Since 2011, the organization has operated the Centreville Labor Resource Center, 5944 Centreville Crest Lane, where homeowners and contractors looking for help can hire workers for the day.
This year the Catalogue celebrates its 15th anniversary. Since its inception, it has raised $38 million for nonprofits in the region. Reviewers helped select 76 charities to feature in the 2017-18 print edition. Centreville Immigration Forum is one of 34 of which are new to the Catalogue this year.
“People want to know where to give and they need trusted information. Based on our in-depth review, we believe that the Centreville Immigration Forum is one of the best community-based nonprofits in the region,” according to Barbara Harman, founder and president of the Catalogue for Philanthropy.
