International Rescue Committee in Tucson

Today, we honor Indigenous peoples, their cultures, and the communities whose care for one another continues across generations.

At the IRC our research aims to integrate local, Indigenous and traditional knowledge with emerging technology to promote holistic and adaptable disaster response solutions globally.

We celebrate the history, cultures, resilience, and contributions of Native Nations and Indigenous peoples.

Here’s an example of this approach:
“Blending Tradition and Modernity for Disaster Risk Reduction at the Epicenter of Crisis”

We are honored to announce that we have received generous support from the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona. This funding will directly support our outreach and communication initiatives around the changing benefits landscape for our clients, as well as the continued growth of our office. As we work to make sure our clients are more informed, this funding will be integral to create a stronger, more resilient office to serve our Refugee and Immigrant neighbors.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona for their commitment to support our mission. Their partnership empowers us to continue building a thriving and equitable community for all.
