Overview

Mission

Working to further a thriving immigrant community in Maine by lifting the language barrier and supporting the career trajectory and financial stability of immigrant women and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

In Her Presence has partnered with The Gorman Foundation, Mercy Hospital and Maine Housing to operate a new home for homeless pregnant immigrant women in Portland Maine at The Francis Ward House. The residents are provided a safe place to live for up to a year or until alternative housing is acquired. The women are supported by the staff of In Her Presence as they live in community, cooking, cleaning, babysitting, making friends and supporting each other. Their medical needs are met by the staff of Mercy hospital. All residents attend English, Technology and Health Education classes. Transportation is available to residents who leave the facility for educational, medical or other services. Additional educational opportunities, including field trips, are provided.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
