In an effort to prevent workplace abuses, cdm conducts participatory educational workshops (covering topics, such as wage and hour laws, health and safety regulations, risk prevention, civil rights, and policy developments pertaining to labor migration programs) with workers who reside in communities in mexico from which many travel to work in the united states.

  2. Legal support - cdm is a critical point of contact for migrant workers in the united states, providing intake, evaluation, referral and other legal services free of charge for workers who face workplace and other abuses. Through cdm's extensive outreach and mobile workers' rights workshops in migrant-sending communities in mexico; and its toll-free hotlines in the u.s. And mexico, cdm has helped thousands of migrant workers gain access to the justice system. After a comprehensive intake process, cdm's multilingual legal team evaluates workers' potential work-related claims and connects them with advocates at partner non-profit organizations, law firms, and government enforcement agencies. Cdm also litigates cases on behalf of migrant workers in u.s. Courts and before administrative agencies and international bodies. Cdm also provides "friend of the court" briefings in important cases.in addition, cdm provides expert professional litigation support services and investigative support for other organizations with mexico-based migrant worker clients to ensure that those organizations can effectively provide legal services to their clients.

  3. Policy advocacy - cdm provides a transnational worker-centered policy advocacy presence by bringing migrant workers' voices to key immigration and labor policy forums, a space where their perspectives are fundamental but too often absent. Drawing on cdm's expertise on these issues (particularly those related to guest worker programs, international labor recruitment, and access to justice), cdm provides analysis, investigative reports, and recommendations to policymakers as well as worker advocacy groups. Cdm also comments on u.s. Regulations to federal agencies, and strategically advocates for policy reforms.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $472k → $775k.

10 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of CENTRO DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MIGRANTE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

CENTRO DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MIGRANTE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left

53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CENTRO DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MIGRANTE INC.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
