IC Match Campaign – Double Your Impact
Only Days Left – Support the LUM Immigration Clinic
Only a few days remain to support the LUM Immigration Clinic through the IC Match Campaign, which ends April 30. Every dollar donated will be matched by funds from local businesses, doubling your impact.
The LUM Immigration Clinic has an almost 100% success rate with ICE applications for Cuban and Ukrainian clients. Cubans seek work authorizations and Green Card adjustments. Ukrainians apply for Temporary Protected Status, work authorizations, and travel documents. LUM is trusted by clients and referred to by other attorneys, offering high-quality legal services at a fraction of the cost of private representation.
Immigrants are essential to Indiana’s economy. They make up 9.6% of Hoosier entrepreneurs, pay $4.3 billion in taxes, and contribute $12.3 billion in spending power. Immigrants also hold key roles in the state’s workforce, including 26.8% of doctors, 30.2% of software developers, and 14% of all STEM workers.
Despite these contributions, the legal process to live and work in the U.S. is increasingly complex. Support from the community helps LUM continue to serve immigrant neighbors with integrity and excellence. Indiana needs immigrants. Support the campaign today.
