Make a Meaningful Impact in Your Community!
San Francisco Bay Area 501c3 nonprofit, Refugee & Immigrant Transitions (RIT) invites you to support refugee and immigrant neighbors by sponsoring our annual Community-Centric Fundraiser.
Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever:
Forced migration is at an all-time high, and more people than ever are arriving in our communities, seeking safety and a chance to rebuild. For 40+ years, RIT has been providing education and community support programs that have helped thousands of newcomers adjust to their new lives and thrive in the U.S. However with limited resources, RIT’s ability to respond to this urgent need is constrained.
Be a Sponsor and Be Part of the Change!
RIT’s annual fundraisers are transformative experiences for learning, inspiration, and action. They mobilize critical funding that directly supports refugees and immigrants on their journey to build new lives in the U.S. None of this work would be possible without the support of local businesses like yours.
Sponsorship Levels:
We have named our sponsorship levels after historic trees. They symbolize endurance, resilience, and optimism--attributes commonly associated with the experiences, journey, and aspirations of immigrant communities. Trees are life-giving, majestic, and rejuvenating. They provide refuge, sanctuary and relief.
