This grant, offered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of Citizenship, is for the purpose of promoting the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and fostering immigrant integration through naturalization. Naturalization provides crucial civic and economic opportunities for new citizens, strengthening communities and the nation. The program aims to expand the availability of high-quality citizenship preparation nationwide by creating new programs within existing organizations and strengthening emerging ones. A key objective is to build the long-term capacity of local organizations to deliver direct citizenship preparation services to Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) in communities most in need. Successful sub-applicant organizations will be equipped to manage and execute comprehensive citizenship instruction and naturalization application service programs.
