Overview

Mission

PRE's mission is to help refugees overcome deep-rooted issues associated with relocation trauma and cultural adjustment in order to become successful, contributing members of the community.

What it reported doing in 2018

Case Management Refugees needing case management assistance are screened by the cultural ambassadors and referred to the case manager for assistance. The case manager links and refers those refugees to available resources in their community. In addition, the case manager makes home visits, completes needs assessments, does the planning, and makes follow ups. The case manager refers clients to mental health counseling for those who need it. Case Management services include assistance in applying for employment, government housing, medical services, immigration, public transportation, social security and more.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
