Overview

Mission

To provide pro bono humanitarian immigration legal services and training to advocates, which relieves poverty and restores equality to immigrants.

What it reported doing in 2025

Arise immigration services has a dual mission: 1) we provide free legal representation to asylum-seekers in the pittsburgh area and 2) we provide training and mentoring to advocates around the country as we work on our cases together. Our mission allows us to expand capacity among immigration advocates around the country. The two aspects of the mission are interconnected as all legal services are impacted by the mentoring aspect of our mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
