It’s huge news for a non-profit organization which serves a migrant community in the Tri-Counties.
The Oxnard-based Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project is getting a $2 million grant to help with its project. The money is coming from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott’s Yield Giving organization.
MICOP provides a range of social services and support programs for migrant communities. It’s especially focused on the region’s Mixteco community, which is made up of migrants from Mexico who speak their own language.
Scott has given more than $17 billion dollars to non-profit groups since 2019.
