Overview

Mission

Pamoja house is a multicultural organization serving the diverse immigrant community in the sw portland area through education, resettlement aid, counseling, and vocational services. We specialize in esl, driver's education, tutoring, and citizenship classes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Refugee resettlement: our goal is to provide transitional aid for refugee families in crisis. The aid may be in the form of a rent assistance grant or other misc. Micro-grants for urgent family needs. This program did not have significant activity in 2024 but we expect it will in the future.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
