Vermont Asylum Assistance Project 2025 Appeal
The Federal Administration wants to exhaust immigration legal service providers and obstruct Vermont’s diverse future. Without adequate resources to weather this storm, Vermont’s communities - our economic security, humanitarian values, and fundamental rights and freedoms - as well as our fundamental rights and freedoms risk being torn apart.
Vermont Asylum Assistance Project (VAAP; www.vaapvt.org), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, is a legal services and technical assistance organization that exists to mentor no-cost and low-cost immigration lawyers and legal workers; educate and serve immigrants and community members; maximize impact across sectors; and advocate to protect immigrants’ rights. We are raising funds to recover from lost federal funding and fortify our future as a legal services, volunteer coordination, public advocacy, and community education provider for Vermont.
Funds raised will enable VAAP to:
- Secure full-cost funding for our existing attorney team,
- Staff our newly emerging needs for intake and paralegal position(s), and
- Subgrant excess resources to community partners providing complementary “affirmative” (as opposed to VAAP’s “defensive”) immigration legal services.
Funds raised will help VAAP serve as the backbone of a more robust and resilient legal defense ecosystem. With this support, VAAP envisions evolving into an even stronger, enduring statewide legal services hub—one designed not just to defend cases, but to expand equitable access to justice and sustainable capacity for the long term.
The time to act is now—to build the proven, scalable legal infrastructure that we have seen be successful in other states to strengthen communities and support and benefit all residents. An attack on immigrants' rights is an attack on rights for all. Join our work!
