Welcome Fund spotlight
No One Left Behind, a Welcome Fund grantee, evacuates, resettles, and advocates for the protection of Afghan and Iraqi allies eligible to come to the United States as Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders.
They’ve helped bring thousands of Afghan allies who stood alongside U.S. forces and were endangered when Kabul fell in 2021.
The Welcome Fund supports their efforts to connect arriving SIV holders with sponsor groups to ensure newcomers have a warm welcome to the U.S.
“No One Left Behind is a place that brings America together…That's one of the beauties about this organization that makes us unique and positive, and that's why we're so happy to partner with Welcome.US and make a difference.”
