What is Welcoming Michigan?

When it comes to immigration, it’s easy to let differences separate us. Michigan thrives when we bring the best of what has been and the best of what can be together to create a stronger, more vibrant Michigan for all. At Welcoming Michigan, we seek to build mutual respect among foreign-born and U.S.-born people who call Michigan home today. Together. It’s better.

Why We Care

Welcoming Michigan works to support Michigan’s “receiving community” members—U.S.-born Americans who live in communities where immigrants settle — in creating welcoming communities where immigrants can fully integrate into their adopted hometowns. This is why we care...

Why It Works

Immigrants account for large and growing shares of the economy and the electorate in Michigan. Immigrants make up 6.0% of the state’s population. Being a welcoming state is in the best interest of all Michiganders.

The Welcoming Michigan initiative is supported by the Ford Foundation;
and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
