The Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy E Pluribus Unum Prizes national awards program provides four $50,000 awards annually to exceptionally successful immigrant integration initiatives. The awards recognize initiatives that have an outstanding record of helping immigrants and their children adapt, thrive, and contribute to the United States or that have successfully brought immigrants and native-born residents together to build stronger, more cohesive communities. The awards are open to individuals, nonprofit and community organizations, businesses, religious groups, and government entities, agencies, or officials operating in the United States.
The deadline to apply is December 10, 2009 at 5 pm EST. Application rules and procedures can be found at www.integrationawards.org and www.migrationinformation.org/integrationawards/index.cfm
The J.M. Kaplan Fund is generously providing support for these awards in order to focus attention on successful integration initiatives, and to inspire and provide program models to others around the United States who might also undertake such efforts.
Questions about the E Pluribus Unum Prizes should be sent to awardsinfo@migrationpolicy.org.
