Overview
Green Card Fund’s projects hold different meanings for different people. For more than 290 families our projects have offered a pathway for permanent residency in the United States. For the communities in which these projects are located, they have meant vital economic stimulation, job creation, and in some cases much needed services. For our developer partners, these projects have been financially successful and, in several cases, have attracted national recognition. For us, these projects are the source of considerable pride and represent the culmination of long-standing relationships, focusing on select industry sectors, and an unwavering dedication to our clients’ goals.
