What Community Refugee & Immigration Services Inc does
Mission
Community refugee and immigration services, inc.'s mission is to help refugees and immigrants reach and sustain sufficiency and acheive successful integration into the centrl ohio community through teaching, employment assistance, interpreting, refugee resettlement, and legal services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Resettlement (cws) - the cris resettlement program serves clients that are assigned to us by national partnering agency, church world services (cws). All cases are approved by the us government to enter as refugees. The support of the local community pays an integral role in the successful resettlement of refugees to central ohio. Cris partners with supportive individuals and groups, educational institutions, social service agencies, etc. -- to contribute to the lives and well being of the individuals in the communities we serve. Donations of time, resources, financial contributions, and/or household items significantly impact the work of cris and the lives of local regugees and refugee families.
$1,224,766 spent14% of program spendingMatch grant (cws-mg) -- one of the keys to any newcomer's success in the united states is acheiving and sustaining self sufficiency. The matching grant program works to assist refugees in becoming financially self- sufficient in their first six months in the u.s. As an alternative to receiving public cash assistance. Each refugee enrolled in this program is assigned a case manager to assist with securing employment, networking with employers, and offering ongoing job counselling to clients. This program requires an investment of private resources to "match" its federal funds, and cris secures the support of community members, volunteers, and employers to fulfill the program's contribution. Each dollar donated to the program is matched two to one by the federal government, so a gifct of 40 leads to 120 in support of the matching grant program. In-kind donations also help contribute towards this federal match. The program is now an 8- month (240 day) program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $937k to $1.9M (+108%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 8% · 2018 5% · 2019 4% · 2020 9% · 2021 7% · 2022 16% · 2023 12% · 2024 94% · 2025 69%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY REFUGEE & IMMIGRATION SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 70% · 2019 47% · 2020 54% · 2021 56% · 2022 52% · 2023 28% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
