Overview

Mission

To disrupt threats to the health and safety of refugee and migrant communities, creating systems that connect people to the resources they need while mobilizing institutions to eliminate barriers to access.

What it reported doing in 2025

Collective care program: this suite of work uses deep reciprocal relationships to facilitate access to resources and services. Initiatives include the hive, where information is translated and disseminated into 6+ languages; bridge builders, where volunteers support member families in meeting personal goals; neighborhood support circles and summer camp, where youth are provided academic enrichment and social-emotional tools; women's group, using art-based therapy to provide social and emotional support for women; and community conversations, gatherings between refugee and migrant residents and local institutions to facilitate reciprocal learning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
