Nevadan and first-generation immigrant Duncan Lee has partnered with the Governor’s Office for New Americans to establish the Esperanza Fund.
It will support Nevada’s immigrant communities and strengthen nonprofits working with them.
The Esperanza Fund was launched with a $750,000 gift from The Open Society Foundations, the world’s largest private funder of independent groups founded by George Soros.
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak and First Lady Kathy Sisolak attended the Esperanza Fund’s first virtual board meeting and commended the board’s work to support Nevada’s immigrant communities.
