Overview

Mission

The Neighbor Fund supports the immigrant communities of Windham and Tolland counties providing direct financial support to individuals seeking to normalize their immigration status in the United States. It provides money for immigrants to defray the cost of their residency paperwork to pay legal expenses associated with their asylum cases to provide bail money for those detained because of their immigration status and to provide money for the basic living expenses of families otherwise financially strapped because costs related to all of the above.

What it reported doing in 2025

In addition the organization supports youth from these communities through stipend-based programming helping to provide financial support and opportunities for young people in immigrant families.

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 86% 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
