Who we are
We unleash the desire and capacity of Americans to welcome newcomers and help them thrive.
Welcome.US is a nonpartisan, national initiative that mobilizes Americans from all walks of life to support newcomers.
We believe in harnessing America’s greatest strengths—our civil society institutions, private sector innovation, and the compassion of everyday Americans—to benefit our communities and be a welcoming nation.
We’ve helped mobilize American sponsors in all 50 states and in more than 12,000 zip codes to welcome newcomers through safe, legal, orderly pathways. When Americans take the lead in welcoming, we don’t just help newcomers, we showcase the very best of America: freedom, generosity, and self-determination.
Our work
We work toward solutions that will strengthen our national capacity to welcome newcomers.
Supporting sponsors
We provide Americans who have sponsored newcomers with the tools they need to resettle newcomers and navigate changes to government sponsorship programs.

About sponsorship pathwaysBridging divides
