Overview

Mission

To enhance the quality of life by empowering our community to be self-sufficient and engaging in cultural, social, and economic development while promoting racial harmony, goodwill, and justice in the society.

What it reported doing in 2025

Employment Service Program Chin Community of Indiana (CCI) provided employment services to support Chin immigrants and refugees in overcoming barriers to employment and achieving economic stability. The program included resume and job application assistance, interview preparation, onboarding support, workplace communication assistance, and referrals to job opportunities. Staff also supported community members with workplace-related issues such as injuries, disability claims, benefits, and employer communication. In 2025, CCI continued efforts to build partnerships with employers in skilled trades and higher-wage industries to expand long-term career pathways and promote economic self-sufficiency. In 2025, CCI hosted 6 job fairs and 1,638 individuals were placed into jobs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
