What Congregations United to Serve Humanity Inc does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Our immigration task force helped create safety and preparedness for the kenosha community in the face of rising authoritarianism and brutality. Forty unique individuals participated in one or more task force meetings. In partnership with voces de la frontera, cush trained 22 "verifiers," who serve as legal observers and on-the-ground reporters during instances where law enforcement is operating without identification. An additional five individuals received further training. Through this same partnership, we distributed approximately 100 flyers with basic "know-your-rights" information, detailing the protections afforded under the 1st and 4th amendments to the us constitution. The cush immigration task force also engaged in advocacy throughout the fall of 2025, communicating with the kenosha county sheriff to advocate against kenosha county's participation in a 287(g) agreement and advocating for increased transparency on policies related to law enforcement treatment, on the part of the kenosha unified school district.

From the IRS filings of CONGREGATIONS UNITED TO SERVE HUMANITY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 CONGREGATIONS UNITED TO SERVE HUMANITY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 55% — diversifying over time.
