Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA)
Very useful
If you get it, it tends to continue
Difficult to get the first time

Proposal Concept # 1: Immigrant Integration Naturalization
Weaves established and newcomer communities together
Positive outcomes for existing community 85% of imm. families are mixed status 75% of children of imm. are U.S. citizens Eliminate language barrier via ESL
![Page 27: Grant Development for Legal Immigration Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814868550346895db5754e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Newcomer community commits to learning civic process and engages with broader community
Receiving community promotes citizenship, opportunities for community participation
Benefits all through collaboration by philanthropy, civil society, newcomers

Immigrant Integration Naturalization
Revitalizes declining communities Stronger communities thru inclusion Increased productivity Expanded base of workers Expanded base of consumers Expanded base of taxpayers Expanded base of entrepreneurs
![Page 29: Grant Development for Legal Immigration Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814868550346895db5754e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Proposal Concept # 2: DV Immigration Support Center
Takes existing agency capacity to assist survivors of domestic violence
Leverages the knowledge and skill to create capacity throughout the city or state
Teaches other DV agencies how to do this (how to fish) instead of doing cases (giving them a fish)
![Page 30: Grant Development for Legal Immigration Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814868550346895db5754e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
DV Immigration Support Center
DV survivors in rural areas face barriers to service
The abuser controls transportation No transportation to metropolitan immigration
help No ability to obtain immigration status
independently Endless cycle of violent family degradation
![Page 31: Grant Development for Legal Immigration Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814868550346895db5754e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DV Immigration Legal Support Center
Your agency knows DV immigration Your staff can train DV shelter or treatment
programs to do this Your staff can assist these rural agencies
with obtaining Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) agency recognition and staff/volunteer accreditation
![Page 32: Grant Development for Legal Immigration Services](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814868550346895db5754e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conclusion
Resource development does not arise over night
Involves time and relationship with funder and program officer
Never give up
