Mixteca

Overview

Mission

Mixteca builds a more just society by strengthening the immigrant communities in New York City. Mixteca empowers immigrants by providing access to services that enhance their quality of life and enable sustainable social and economic development. In recent times, our immigrant communities have been under attack. We see every day what this fear does to families: parents afraid to go to work, children terrified of losing a loved one, entire communities pushed further into the shadows. But we also see something else, our collective resilience. Thanks to our donors, funders, and partners, Mixteca continues to provide legal guidance, individual and collective mental health spaces, educational opportunities, and access to health checks, fairs, and programs.

Operating model

Revenue model

Donor-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

Distribution model

Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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.

• Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
