The WES Mariam Assefa Fund seeks proposals to identify new ideas that can drive more inclusive employer practices in the U.S. and improve economic mobility for immigrants and refugees.
Support will be provided for ideas to engage employers to:
- shift internal talent practices to reduce bias in recruitment and hiring, build more inclusive workplaces, and invest in the advancement of incumbent immigrant and refugee talent;
- pilot demand-driven training and education programs that connect immigrant and refugee job seekers to quality jobs, particularly in high-growth sectors;
- build coalitions within or across sectors to advance commitments and facilitate knowledge sharing and collective action among employers; and
- assess the impact of existing employer initiatives focused on immigrant and refugee workers to identify the path forward for those solutions.
Visit the Fund's website to learn more about the guidelines and application process.

The focus is on projects with innovative solutions in the following areas: professional education and training, timely and actionable data, and supporting the transition from treatment to recovery.

Tommy Nobis COVID Prevention Kits
Tommy Nobis Center produced 10,000 COVID prevention kits over the course of the last nine months. Kits containing masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and COVID education materials were provided to neighboring partner nonprofits to distribute to individuals they serve who were significantly impacted by the pandemic. Nonprofit organizations that received the kits included liveSAFE Resources, Sweetwater Mission, Special Needs Cobb, Ser Familia, Walton Communities, The Center for Family Resources, The Zone, Freedom Church, and Next Step Ministries. The initiative which was made possible by the generous support from the Cobb County Community Development Block Grant created employment opportunities for people with disabilities that Tommy Nobis Center serves.
