Immigration Legal Resources

The City and County of Denver is enriched by the different talents, work, and culture of all of its residents, including immigrants, their families, and families of mixed immigration statuses. For immigrants, legal status is the biggest obstacle to adapting into the U.S., and access to and the price of legal representation is significantly challenging.

Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund:

The Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund established under Executive Order 142, and managed by The Denver Foundation, helps facilitate legal representation to individuals who are being threatened or are facing potential removal from the City and County of Denver due to their immigration status. The fund awards grants to nonprofit organizations to offer legal representation in detention and/or subject to removal proceedings, provide affirmative relief to individuals seeking help with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and various visa programs, support capacity building or other innovative projects to help organizations increase the pool of pro-bono or low-bono immigration attorneys available to represent immigrants, and to assist in the course of representation, including legal resources and/or scholarships to pay for filing and other representation-related application fees.
