About TIGRA

TIGRA (Transnational Institute for Grassroots Research and Action) is a movement center for transnational organizing that promotes financial justice through the economic power of immigrants - those who send billions of dollars to families they've left behind. TIGRA considers the system of remittances as the next frontier of economic justice that links domestic and global issues.

Founded in 2005, TIGRA maintains a growing network of more than 180 immigrant organizations in the United States, located in 66 cities in every region.  TIGRA also partners with key migrant networks worldwide, see list below.  TIGRA receives its support from individuals and organizations that believe in its vision and strategies, as well as from philanthropic institutions like the Ford Foundation, New World Foundation, Norman Foundation, Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, and the Rhode Island Foundation.
