Overview

Mission

Based in the Washington d.c. Area and arlington, Virginia, numbersusa action is the nation's largest grassroots immigration policy impact organization with more than nine million participants in all 435 congressional districts. Members mobilize to persuade public officials to support immigration policies that protect all americans especially the most vulnerable and including the foreign-born - from losing wages, taxes, individual freedoms, quality of life, and access to nature due to excessive immigration numbers that indiscriminately enlarge the u.s. Population, the labor force and government costs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Research, education and advocacy concerning immigration policies and how they impact american workers, their families and the legal immigrants, and the effects of immigration driven population growth on the physical, social and natural infrastructures on the local, regional and national levels.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
