The Belonging Innovation Lab is a grantmaking program run by the Center for Inclusion and Belonging at the American Immigration Council (and made possible by the generous support of the Walmart Foundation.) This fellowship is designed to support non- profit local organizations such as NRN in developing and scaling the most promising approaches to strengthening bridge-building and intergroup contact in their programmatic work, as well as providing necessary support in storytelling and evaluation. Through convening learning and conversation, the members of the collaborative, spread out across the country, share best practices and gather strategies to develop their programs so that they may be refined, institutionalized, and scaled. The Council works to strengthen America by helping it to be a place where all people are welcomed and supported.
