Overview
Mission
The Roanoke Asylum-Seekers Support Network is being formed to provide community support to those seeking asylum in the United States for various reasons and choose to live in the Roanoke Valley. We intend to provide transportation, tutoring, legal assistance, and other basic needs to this group as determined by the directors. We will connect the asylum seekers to existing charities and organizations when possible and fill gaps as we determine a need exists.
What it reported doing in 2025
RASSN provided financial assistance to around 7 families with legal fees to assist them with their journey toward asylum.
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 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
