The Refugee & Immigrant Fund (RIF) was established in 2007 to aid refugees and asylum seekers to the US in rebuilding their lives and starting anew in the United States. Since 2011, in collaboration with the Brooklyn Grange and other local partners, RIF's Urban Farm Recovery Project has utilized urban agriculture platforms as a means of healing trauma, developing job readiness skills, and gaining firsthand experience in New York's emerging green economy.
