How Can I Support the Florence Project?

The Florence Project relies on the generous support of individuals, corporations, and foundations in order to provide our multitude of legal and social services to the 3,000 men, women, and unaccompanied children detained in Arizona on any given day.  Will you join us?

Become a Sustaining Contributor

If you use automatic bill pay via your bank account or credit card, consider making a sustaining gift to support the Florence Project.  More of our supporters are electing to do this to help us throughout the year.  A donation of just $5 a month – the price of a fancy cup of coffee – supports a Know Your Rights presentation to educate 40 adult detainees or unaccompanied children about their rights in immigration court.

Invite us to Speak

We know that fundraising and community education go hand in hand.  If you would like a representative from the Florence Project’s staff to get in contact to tell you more about who we are and our work, or speak to your neighbors, friends, colleagues, or church about the immigration detention and deportation system, please email us at firrp@firrp.org.
