The Immigration Project helps immigrants across downstate Illinois, and each year,our work touches hundreds of people. We do not receive government funding; therefore we rely on donations, grants and legal fees to continue helping as many immigrants as possible. Because of donations and grants, we are able to keep our legal fees low and provide quality services to our clients all over the state.
