The Belonging Fund, a Nashville-based fundraising effort created in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, has expanded its mission to cover legal services for immigrants, Axios Nashville reports. The fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, initially was designed to be a resource to help immigrant families with the cost of child care, housing, food and other needs. However, the fund’s website now states it will provide money for immigration-related representation and advocacy. Since its launch, the Belonging Fund has raised more than $525,000. To date it has distributed $98,000 through Conexión Américas to assist 132 families.
