THE FAMILY SUPPORT INITIATIVE
Our campaign goal
$5,000,000
One shared goal. Many families whose next step matters.
Campaign in preparationContributions are not open yet.
This is a fundraising target, not a reported amount raised. No payment is collected on this page.
The need is human. The response can be collective.
Families in the U.S. come first
Needs reviewed before support is assigned
Local businesses can help build the response
What this campaign is being built to support
A practical next step.
A little more stability.
When a family is affected by detention, uncertainty reaches far beyond one person. The campaign’s planned purpose connects legal access, preparation, and family support under a reviewed program.
02
Readiness and clear guidance
Support understandable education, organized information, and preparation for a conversation with a qualified professional. Individual needs guide the next step.
03
Reviewed family needs
Assess family-support needs and coordinate appropriate assistance or referrals within the approved program. Available support depends on review, resources, and program capacity.
04
The work that makes help possible
Fund responsible intake, review, recordkeeping, outreach, and program operations. The use of funds, contribution split, and fees will be disclosed before giving opens.
This campaign does not promise representation, release from detention, a direct payment to an individual, or a particular immigration outcome. Each request requires an appropriate review.
Where the work begins
Here for families here.
Planning responsibly for what comes next.
People and families in the United States
The immediate campaign focus is people already in the U.S., including families navigating detention-related disruption, immigration questions, and barriers to qualified assistance.
Explore guidance and next stepsFuture international assistance
CILAN also intends to develop appropriate guidance and assistance for people outside the U.S. This is a future phase. International services, locations, eligibility, and launch dates have not been established here.
Future scope will be announced when it is ready.The business community can be part of the answer
Turn everyday business into a shared purpose.
A checkout counter. A taco special. A community event. Explore an idea your business could bring to CILAN, then agree on the details before announcing or collecting anything.
01
Round up at the register
Small change. A shared purpose.Invite customers to add an optional round-up to a purchase, with a clearly explained destination and campaign period.
02
$1 from every designated taco
One item can bring people together.Choose a product and a fixed contribution per eligible item sold. A taco, a coffee, or another designated item can carry the idea.
03
5% of designated sales
Give a day of sales a purpose.Propose a percentage of a clearly defined sales base. Identify the products, dates, exclusions, and any maximum contribution.
04
Match your community
Add a business contribution beside each gift.Set a matching rate for eligible contributions during an agreed period, with a cap your company is comfortable discussing.
05
Host a gathering with purpose
A community night. A common goal.Plan an event with a stated contribution per eligible ticket or attendee. Keep event costs and the amount for CILAN distinct.
Before a business campaign starts, put the details in writing.
Confirm the contribution rate, the exact eligible sales or donation base, start and end dates, exclusions, any cap, and how funds will reach CILAN. Distinguish a customer’s optional contribution from money the business contributes. Before launch, CILAN and the business must confirm participation, public wording, and which fundraising registration, reporting, and disclosure requirements apply. This page does not authorize collections or promise a tax deduction.

Small actions.
Understandable numbers.
Try different assumptions and see the arithmetic. This calculator does not record a pledge, add to the campaign total, or collect money.
Assumption: each entered unit qualifies for the stated contribution. The count covers one proposed campaign period.
ILLUSTRATION ONLY · NOT A PLEDGE
Your business’s illustrative contribution
$500.00
500 × $1.00 = $500.00
Relative to the $5,000,000 goal0.01%
For scale: 10,000 contributions of this size would reach the goal. This is arithmetic, not a forecast or a count of participating businesses.
All results are before any payment fees and do not represent funds received or the amount assigned to a family. For matching examples, the goal comparison uses the business match alone. Final contribution terms and CILAN’s allocation policy must be agreed before participation.

A useful step you can take today
Bring the idea.
Let’s work through the details.
Whether you need guidance for your family or want to discuss a business fundraiser, start with a general conversation. Keep private case details out of public messages.
01
Describe the need or idea
A general inquiry helps identify the right conversation. Sending an email does not create a case, a pledge, or a partnership.
02
Confirm scope and readiness
CILAN reviews the appropriate path, the available capacity, and the written terms needed before a program or fundraiser begins.
03
Move forward with clear expectations
Approved next steps and future campaign updates will explain what is available, what funding supports, and how progress is reported.
Clear answers, from the beginning
A few things to know.
Can I donate to this campaign right now?
Not yet. The $5 million campaign is in preparation. This page does not collect payments. Final program details, contribution terms, fees, and payment arrangements must be ready before giving opens.
Does $5 million mean that money has already been raised?
No. It is the campaign’s target. No amount raised, donor count, or completed service total is being claimed on this page. Public totals should be based on verified records when the campaign opens.
Can CILAN guarantee help or an immigration outcome?
No. Assistance depends on review, professional authorization, available resources, and program capacity. The campaign does not guarantee representation, release from detention, an immigration decision, or a direct payment to a family.
Can my business announce a fundraiser using CILAN’s name?
Start by discussing the idea with CILAN. Agree on participation, exact contribution terms, dates, the collection process, and public wording before announcing a campaign. The examples and calculator are planning tools and do not enroll your business.
Is assistance available outside the United States?
International assistance is a planned future phase, not an operating program represented here. The immediate priority is people and families currently in the U.S.
