About ARIF Foundation
Established on June 13 of 2016, in Corona, California, with its branch office in Casa Grande, Arizona, ARIF FOUNDATION is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a strong sense of belonging and integration for immigrants in the United States. The foundation works to provide advisory, tax, employment, and educational services to assist immigrants, refugees, asylees, and other forced migrants and vulnerable victims and people on the move in their resettlement.
The foundation supports its nonprofit clients’ multi-faceted contributions to communities, advances community and economic development goals, and works to fill the overall need for capitalization of organizations in this sector, carrying out the commitment of the United States as a nation that historically have always served and advocated for freedom and human rights.
Furthermore, the foundation extends its services for communities to develop from its financing of projects through other nonprofit organizations working to fill their overall need for capital through financing to assist in resettling immigrants and their children.
The foundation also hosts programs designed to address the challenges of separation and misunderstanding that often arise in diverse communities, which may feel disconnected from their homeland, the United States. Through its initiatives, the foundation aims to create a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and shared purposes, bridging cultural and religious divides by empowering vulnerable and marginalized individuals to actively participate in building a more inclusive and secure society.
