Overview

Mission

The Coalition for Immigrant Mental Health (CIMH) is a collaborative, community based, and research-informed initiative that is a partnership between immigrants, regardless of status, mental health practitioners, community organizers, researchers, and allies. CIMH works to promote awareness of and access to culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services through education, advocacy, and resource sharing to improve and facilitate access to services for those who are undocumented or of mixed status.

What it reported doing in 2024

CIMH identified, trained, and coordinated 25 licensed mental health providers to serve as Reflective Consultants for Cohorts 6 and 7 of its mental health initiative. The organization also supported two additional trainers to assist with Fall 2024 training sessions. A part-time Training Event Coordinator was hired to manage registration and event logistics, and the Finance Manager oversaw consultant compensation. These activities directly support the organization? s mission to strengthen mental health support for immigrant communities through professional development and training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 73% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
