Our Story

LI3 has a history of working with Littleton’s immigrants.

Since its founding as a nonprofit 501(c)3 in 2009, the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative (LI3) has established a community board that includes representatives from Arapahoe Community College, the City of Littleton’s Bemis Public Library, First Bank, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office, Spring International Language Center, the faith community and community members at large.

Funds to support local immigrant and refugee programs and the Initiative’s “Changing the Lives of Documented Immigrants One Person at a Time” program are being raised from activities such as “Restaurant Days” and “Shopping Days,” and from local businesses and individual donors. Community outreach includes the development of fliers, this website (www.connectingimmigrants.org) and the use of social media.

Business procedures and financial safeguards have been established, insurance has been purchased, and application forms for the “One Person at a Time” program have been developed. Strategic planning is under way to enlarge the Initiative’s Board, provide Board training, and to approach additional business donors and foundations for funding.
