• The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, a major philanthropic foundation originally established by Jewish donors, has provided grants to immigrant-rights groups in the past (e.g., CASA de Maryland, a Latino and immigrant support organization).

• Organizations like HIAS (originally the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) have a long history of helping displaced people including refugees, and they also provide services or advocacy that can intersect with issues affecting undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers. Their work is grounded in humanitarian values and international refugee protection.
• Groups like the Jewish Center for Justice explicitly mobilize Jewish communities in support of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers as part of broader justice work.
• Foundations such as the Righteous Persons Foundation have funded inter-faith efforts that may include helping churches and other institutions provide sanctuary to undocumented people threatened with deportation.
