About Migrant Support Collective

Migrant Support Collective (MSC) is a fiscally sponsored project of Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD). MSC runs direct service and advocacy programs dedicated to supporting the well-being of migrants detained in the United States. By advocating for the rights of those impacted by the immigration detention system, we strive towards a future of collective liberation, where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.

MSC is based in Chicago, and operates on both a local and national level. Volunteers may be located anywhere, so long as they are consistently available for zoom meetings.

About Migrant Support Collective’s Fundraising Goals

• For FY26 (January – December 2026), MSC has a fundraising goal of approximately $360,000. Fundraising Committee members will be responsible for helping MSC meet our fundraising goals.
• A major goal for FY26 is to build a wide base of small recurring donors.

Fundraising Committee Member Duties

• Meet monthly with the Fundraising Committee
• Recruit at least 10 new monthly donors, at any amount, by the end of May 2026
• Thank and acknowledge donor and sponsor gifts by making calls and sending letters
• Assist with grassroots fundraising campaigns by participating in phone banks, overseeing volunteers as needed, and assisting with campaign logistics such as securing event space or food donations
• Ideally, members will have some prior experience in development or fundraising; but no worries if not! They should just be committed to learning about it.
• Estimated time per month: 3-5 hours
  • In June, due to the Pride and Immigrant Heritage Month Campaign, this time will be on the higher end of this estimate due to additional meetings and grassroots fundraising.
