We are thrilled to announce that The Colorado Health Foundation has awarded a generous $45,000 grant to Justice and Mercy Legal Aid Center (JAMLAC) to support our work with communities facing growing uncertainty and fear in the current immigration landscape.
The Foundation’s support comes at a critical moment. As immigrant and refugee communities across Colorado experience heightened challenges—including threats of mass deportation, stricter enforcement policies, and a rise in anti-immigrant rhetoric—JAMLAC continues to be a safe haven and fierce advocate for justice.
This grant recognizes not only the urgent needs of our community, but also JAMLAC’s longstanding commitment to serving individuals and families through direct legal aid, community empowerment, and systemic advocacy. We are honored to be seen as a trusted partner in building health equity and safety for all.
What This Means for Our Work: With this support, we will expand our reach and deepen our impact:
- Provide free and low-cost legal services to more individuals at risk of deportation or family separation
- Offer additional community legal clinics for those seeking protection, residency, or naturalization
- Strengthen our wraparound services for survivors of violence and trauma
- Continue building leadership and power within our client communities to help create long-term change
This grant allows us to move forward with confidence, knowing that our work is not only supported but also valued as essential in the fight for justice and dignity for all people—regardless of status.
To The Colorado Health Foundation, thank you. Your trust and investment in our mission fuels hope, resilience, and real impact.
Together, we are building a Colorado where justice and mercy are not the exception—they are the standard.
