Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2021–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

National resettlement affiliates delivering direct services (Church World Service, Catholic Charities)
Faith-based and interfaith welcome networks in New Jersey, Kansas, Texas
Legal representation and immigration case services for arriving refugees
Refugee health, mental health, and trauma care through clinics and hospitals
University-based training, evaluation, and workforce projects tied to resettlement
Anti-trafficking survivor services (a few small checks)

Typical grant

Median grant is $48,390, with the middle half between $18,131 and $219,055, but that hides an extremely top-heavy distribution. A half dozen resettlement affiliates take checks from $2.7M to $16.5M each and absorb the large majority of the $221M; everyone else lands under $500K, and dozens of local groups get $5,000 to $60,000. The largest relationships repeat year over year at similar or growing scale (Church World Service, Catholic Charities Newark, Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas, Shorefront Y, Islamic Relief USA, Boston College all appear in both 2023 and 2024).

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“Refugee Programs”
“Anti-Trafficking”
“Refugee & Immigrant Services”
“Resettlement”
“Immigration Services”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame work as service delivery to resettled clients, not research; nearly every dollar carries the purpose line "Refugee Programs".
Follow the Rutgers, Boston College, and University of Denver pattern: university partner embedded in a resettlement pipeline.
Ask in the $90K to $650K band; that is where academic and clinical partners actually land.
Attach to an existing affiliate relationship (Catholic Charities, Church World Service, Interfaith-RISE) rather than approaching cold.

Worth knowing: This reads as pass-through resettlement funding rather than discretionary philanthropy: the money follows placement networks in New Jersey, Kansas, Texas, and New York, and six grantees dwarf the other 185. California and Washington show many recipients but small dollars, so a large ask from those states has no precedent in the record.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
