Support the International Institute of Buffalo
We are a fantastic investment! 85% of every dollar spent goes to programming!
Immigrants and refugees are an important part of Western New York’s future. Welcoming these families is fundamental to the region’s economic viability and long-term success. When they succeed, our entire community succeeds too. We’re very thankful to the generous Western New Yorkers who have supported our work, and we continue to count on your assistance.
