What Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center does
Mission
Pirc provides high quality legal services so that vulnerable immigrants and their families in pa have access to justice and a more secure future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Pirc ceased its lop services and its medical legal partnership in 2025 due to the ending of program funding. Additionally, pirc launched a phone hotline to assist immigrants in south central pa impacted by immigration and customs enfocement (ice) activity.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Community programs; pirc provides services in the community through two programs: 1) the immigrant survivors project and 2) the community response / medical legal partnership project. The immigrant survivors project is a critical provider of immigration legal services for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking across pennsylvania. Isp partners with victim service agencies across the state in a unique model of service delivery that provides coordinated and holistic support to help survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault stabilize their immigration status, allowing them to access legal protections for them and their children as they create new lives of safety, economic well-being, resilience, and acountability for their abusers. This, in turn, benefits local communities by increasing the stability, safety, and economic prosperity of all residents. Unfortunately, the demand for these specialized services outweighs the availability of these services across the state, with pirc being one of the few statewide providers in this area. At the close of 2024, isp had approximately 396 open legal cases, having closed out 49 direct…
$625,167 spent49% of program spendingDirect representation: pirc provides direct representation and pro se assistance to indigent immigrants through the national qualified representative program (nqrp), the pennsylvania family unity project (paifup), the unaccompanied children's program (ucp), and to other particularly vulnerable populations (pvp). Nqrp provides legal representation for detained immigrants determined by the immigration court to be incompetent to represent themselves due to mental illness or other capacity limitations. These cases are complex due to additional communication and comprehension barriers as well as the lack of resources available to this population. Secondly, pirc provides defense against deportation through the paifup collaborative project jointly with nationalities service center and hias-pa. This program seeks to bring universal representation to detained immigrants in removal proceedings in pa. Cases are selected on a merits-blind basis, screened only for income related and residence eligibility. The long-term goal is to scale the project using data and efficacy to show the significant difference that representation makes to individuals facing deportation without counsel. In 2024 pirc…
$373,008 spent29% of program spendingLegal orientation program (lop): pirc staff educate and empower immigrants in detention throughout pa through the legal orientation program by providing critical information so they can make informed decisions about their legal cases and future. The lop educates detained immigrants through the provision of group legal presentations, self-help workshops, and individual orientations about what to expect in immigration court, their legal rights, and potential legal options/relief against deportation. For approximately 86% of detained immigrants in removal proceedings, lop services are the only legal assistance they will receive before appearing pro se in immigration court. In 2024, pirc provided group general legal orientations to 1102 individuals detained in pa. Additionally, pirc provided individualized orientations to 279.

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 2023 to 2024, from $564k to $807k (+43%).
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 54% · 2018 60% · 2019 70% · 2020 49% · 2021 78% · 2022 76% · 2023 95% · 2024 97% · 2025 94%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $100k → $644k.
9 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 64% · 2019 65% · 2020 70% · 2021 65% · 2022 44% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
33% of PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
84% of PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $590k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
