What Salem for Refugees does
Mission
To bring people & resources together to empower refugees to thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the fiscal year ended september 30, 2025, salem for refugee undertook a significant new program service that was not conducted in the prior year. In february 2025, the organization - [through a related limited liability company in which it holds a 50.90% interest] - acquired a 90-unit apartment community located in northeast salem, oregon, which was placed into operation in april 2025 to provide affordable housing for refugee individuals and families. Under an annual services agreement, salem for refugee provides supportive services to the residents of the community, including [case management, resettlement and acclimation assistance, english-language and job-readiness support, and referrals to health, legal, and social-service resources]. These services are designed to help newly arrived refugees achieve stability and self-sufficiency.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Reception, placement & cultural orientation, and extended services the us state department requires all refugee resettlement agencies to complete a list of services within 3 months of arrival. Services such as securing housing, english enrollment, employment services, etc. Cultural orientation is a series of interactive classes where new families can learn about important topics such as us laws, finances, language resources, mental health, etc. Extended case management is a state funded program that allows resettlement agencies to extend their services for up to 24 months. At sfr we provide limited services for up to 5 years. Education, advocacy, and awareness we take opportunities to advocate for the clients we serve and help raise awareness about issues affecting refugees.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $920k to $3.3M (+255%).
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: 2022 63% · 2023 71% · 2024 83% · 2025 72%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of SALEM FOR REFUGEES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 10 funders, grant income rose $500 → $1.3M.
10 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% 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 SALEM FOR REFUGEES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 23 funders by total. 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
SALEM FOR REFUGEES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 81% of grant income and the top three 90%; 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 SALEM FOR REFUGEES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 66% · 2022 75% · 2023 81% — 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
55% of SALEM FOR REFUGEES's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 52% 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
SALEM FOR REFUGEES draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $502k 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.
