Austin, Texas—January 13th, 2024 – Boostlingo, a leader in interpreting technology and services, is proud to announce a donation of $5,219 to World Relief, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing critical support for immigrants and refugees across the United States. The contribution was made possible through Boostlingo’s annual “Season of Giving” campaign, organized by the company’s internal committee, Boostlingo Acts. This initiative underscores Boostlingo’s commitment to fostering inclusion and supporting underserved, limited English proficient (LEP) communities.
The donation was a collaborative effort, with Boostlingo employees contributing to a dedicated fundraising page. The company further amplified this impact by matching employee donations 100%, significantly contributing to World Relief’s mission. These funds will directly support services essential to the resettlement and integration, including English language workbooks for refugees, tutoring for immigrant children, legal consultations for asylum seekers, and welcome kits for newly resettled families.
“Our partnership with World Relief is an extension of Boostlingo’s mission to break down communication barriers and support immigrant communities,” says Bryan Forrester, CEO of Boostlingo. “We are proud to contribute to their incredible work, which transforms lives and helps build stronger, more inclusive communities nationwide.”
World Relief has been a longstanding partner of Boostlingo, using its interpreting platform to assist refugees all over the country during the resettlement process. In fact, language is often the first barrier to a refugee’s resettlement in the US, and Boostlingo helps them with that first step along their journey to establishing themselves.
World Relief’s Perspective
World Relief expressed its gratitude for Boostlingo’s donation and ongoing support. “Boostlingo’s generosity directly impacts the refugee and immigrant communities we serve,” said Kirby Holmes, Strategic Partnerships Director for Texas at World Relief. “This donation enables us to provide essential resources that help vulnerable people overcome the many challenges they face when starting in a new country. Partnerships like this are instrumental in ensuring these individuals have the tools they need to thrive.”
Continued Collaboration
Boostlingo plans to deepen its engagement with World Relief through additional initiatives, such as hands-on volunteering, allowing employees to contribute directly to needy immigrant communities. This donation and the ongoing partnership with World Relief reflect Boostlingo’s core belief in community support and collaboration. The two organizations aim to rebuild lives, restore hope, and create opportunities for immigrants and refugees to succeed in their new beginnings.
