In the news: EMBARC demonstrates a new approach to justice, funder says

EMBARC RISE AmeriCorps members Ikraan Ahmed and Pray Meh serve their communities in Central Iowa through EMBARC’s Des Moines office.

The Northwest Area Foundation announced a new grantmaking approach centered on justice and prosperity and held up EMBARC’s work as an example of building power locally.

“EMBARC’s constellation of programs—language classes, a multilingual helpline, a legal navigator, youth services, and more—support refuges’ efforts to build more inclusive communities that better meet their needs,” NWAF wrote in their announcement.

We thank the NWAF for supporting us in this work. But we couldn’t do it without you, our individual donors and supporters. Your support funds essential refugee-led programs that bind communities together in our state. Consider becoming a donor in 2022.
