Overview

Mission

Advance the education and well-being of immigrant-origin youth, decrease bias and hatred against young people of diverse origins, and help rising generations develop the critical understanding and empathy necessary to build and sustain welcoming and inclusive communities. Every student, regardless of their migration history and experience, will be educated in an inclusive setting that promotes the success of first- and second-generation immigrant, refugee, and asylee youth while fostering a sense of belonging among all learners.

What it reported doing in 2024

Re-imagining migration advances the education and well-being of immigrant-origin youth by creating lessons and curricula, curating other teaching resources, and training educators through in-person and virtual webinars.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
