Institutional Giving Manager

Description

Who We Are

The Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition is now Amica Center for Immigrant Rights ("Amica Center").  to learn more about our new name. Since our founding in 1999, we have grown significantly and added new services to support immigrants in detention. Recently, Amica Center has outgrown our name, expanding beyond our initial services and geographic boundaries.

“Amica” is the Latin word for “friend,” and that echoes the way we approach what we do. Just as friends stand with one another, Amica Center stands with our clients to achieve the safety, stability, and opportunity we all deserve.

We are the only non-profit organization in the Washington, D.C. area that is exclusively focused on providing legal assistance to adult and child immigrants detained by the government in the Capital Region and beyond.

Our Work Environment

Amica Center’s Development and Communications team functions in a collaborative hybrid environment. Our team is responsible for raising unrestricted and restricted contributions from individual donors, corporations, foundations, law firms, faith-based organizations, and other entities.

Our team works closely with our core programs, including the Adult Program, Children’s Program, and the Immigration Impact Lab, along with the pro bono and volunteer programs in support of institutional priorities.
