AG's office offers grants for immigrant legal services Stuart Cahill/Boston Herald Attorney General Andrea Campbell speaks at a press conference in July. Campbell’s office announced Thursday they would offer grants to organizations offering legal assistance to migrants.
(Stuart Cahill/Boston Herald) By Matthew Medsger | Boston Herald PUBLISHED: September 14, 2023 at 4:59 PM EDT | UPDATED: September 16, 2023 at 2:25 PM EDT Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The state’s Attorney General announced Thursday she will set aside $750,000 to help cover legal costs faced by newly arrived immigrants.
The money will be issued as grants to nonprofit legal service organizations and their community partners that are working to assist immigrants navigating the immigration system or hoping to work. “Legal services organizations play a crucial role in helping new arrivals navigate complex immigration systems and secure basic needs, such as work authorization,” Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell said in a statement.
“I am immensely proud to announce the Immigrant Legal Services Grant Program and continue to expand the diligent work of our office in ensuring that migrants to Massachusetts receive the basic support, protections, and opportunities they need to support their families and contribute to our economy.
” According to Campbell’s office, the extra money to help cover legal costs isn’t the first effort the AG has made at making life easier for the many thousands of migrants arriving in Massachusetts.
“This August, AG Campbell led a coalition of 18 attorneys general in urging the Department of Homeland Security to take immediate action to expedite work permits for eligible immigrants to help meet the state’s workforce needs, conserve safety net resources, and provide new arrivals the opportunity to contribute to the country in which they have sought refuge,” the AG’s office said.
Massachusetts is in the midst of a migrant crisis such that Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency in early August. The Bay State is alone among the 50 U.S. states in guaranteeing a right to housing for families.
While housing new arrivals has been difficult enough for the Commonwealth to manage, according to the AG’s office immigrants face legal barriers they are frequently unable to financially navigate, and those costs are often born by non-profit organizations working pro bono.
“The recent influx of new migrants to Massachusetts has created an emergency situation in which demand often outpaces the capacity of legal services organizations in assisting new arrivals. This grant program will help to expand the capacity of legal services organizations to meet the increased need for immigrant legal services,” they AG’s Office said.
Grants up to $100,000 are available to legal organizations providing “supportive services” to newly arrived immigrants with more information available via the AG’s website. Share on X (Opens in new window) Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Print (Opens in new window)

Cummings Foundation grew its annual local program from $30 million to $35 million for 2026 awards, but the dollar increase is the smaller story. Nearly every grant now flows as unrestricted general operating support — the funding nonprofits ask for most and receive least. For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline. Here is who qualifies, why the shift to operating support changes the calculus, and how a small nonprofit should approach a program that hands out 150 grants a year, most of them chosen by community volunteers.
