The Connecticut Welcome Fund @ 4-CT was created in response to recent federal funding cuts exceeding $4 million to three of Connecticut’s largest refugee resettlement and service agencies - Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants (CIRI), Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services (IRIS) and Jewish Family Services of Greenwich (JFS Greenwich).

Together, these organizations play a crucial role in helping thousands of immigrant and refugee children, adults, and families build new lives in our state by providing access to: 

• Legal services

• Employment services

• Behavioral health supports

• Housing and food assistance

Donations to The Connecticut Welcome Fund @ 4-CT will help to ensure families in need across Connecticut continue receiving essential services and support.
