Chicago, Illinois: Chinese American Service League Receives $2 Million From Zhen Sulian Foundation Trust to Strengthen Immigrant Justice Work
The Chinese American Service League (CASL) announced on November 10 that the Zhen Sulian Foundation Trust has donated $2 million to its immigrant justice program, funding legal aid, citizenship assistance, newcomer resettlement services, anti-hate response and policy advocacy for immigrant families. CASL CEO Guohua Liu said the gift comes as immigrant-serving organizations nationwide face federal funding cuts, intensifying competition for charitable funds, and immigration policies that can change without warning.
The Zhen Sulian Foundation Trust was established in 2015 to carry on the life and good works of Zhen Sulian (1941-2014); the donation continues her more than forty-year bond with CASL. Founded in 1978, CASL is the largest and most comprehensive Asian American community nonprofit in the Midwest, serving more than 7,400 clients a year across the Chicago area and 213 ZIP codes nationwide.
The organization said the donation will help it maintain and expand services to immigrant families at a time of growing immigration policy uncertainty.
