Dear Friend,

The world changed a lot over 2025. But what has not changed is how we approach our work. Every day, we develop and share independent, evidence-driven analysis of one of the most impactful forces in the world: Migration.

As the year draws to a close, thank you for your engagement with MPI and our magazine, the Migration Information Source—whether you read our articles, share them with colleagues, rely on them in your work, or have contributed before.

As a free, trusted source of migration analysis and data, the Migration Information Source has never had a more important role. Earlier this month, we published our list of the Top 10 Migration Issues of 2025, which illustrates how dramatically global dynamics and policies are being remade.

At MPI, we believe research like this is too important to be locked behind a paywall. To keep it freely available to readers around the world, we rely on voluntary support from people who value independent, nonpartisan analysis. If you share this belief, we invite you to make a year-end gift to support our work.  

As a nonprofit, MPI depends on contributions from supporters to sustain the Migration Information Source and our broader research. We have big plans for 2026, and with your help we can put them into action.

Thank you for being part of our community of readers and for considering a gift to the Migration Information Source.

From all of us at MPI, we wish you and your loved ones happy holidays.
