The Immigration Project helps immigrants across downstate Illinois our work touches hundreds of people each year. 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.
