Zuckerberg and Chan's Philanthropy Halts Funding for Immigration Advocacy Group

December 19, 2025 - 23:14

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's philanthropic organization has decided to cease funding for FWD.us in 2025. This decision marks a significant shift for the organization, which was co-founded by Zuckerberg in 2013 with the aim of advocating for comprehensive immigration reform in the United States.

FWD.us has been a prominent player in the immigration debate, working to promote policies that support immigrants and their contributions to society. The group has engaged in various campaigns to raise awareness and influence legislation, reflecting the founders’ commitment to social issues.

The cessation of funding raises questions about the future of FWD.us and its ability to continue its mission without the financial backing it once received. As immigration remains a contentious topic in American politics, the impact of this decision could resonate throughout advocacy circles and among those who rely on the organization’s efforts to push for reform.
