What United States - Sierra Leonean Association Inc does
Mission
The United States Sierra Leonean Association seeks to bring the community together in the spirit of togetherness to share common values and attempt to settle any differences by counseling and discussions. We provide an avenue in which all Sierra Leoneans in particular and other immigrants living in the United States can come together to celebrate their culture, traditions, and support each other in times of need. All community members share these values; not only limiting these facilities to Sierra Leoneans. We also provide an avenue for education, socialization, and community entertainment through social interactions and participation. Provide an avenue where Kids in our community can come and be helped with homework, and other educational issues.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We continue to provide communicable disease awareness to more than 100 community members. We had various discussions on issues relating to Education, Financial management, Health awareness, and child safety. An after-school program has been set up by a sister organization of which school-going children in the neighborhood can be assisted on doing their homework and other educational-related exercises. Also, the classroom is used for Adult literacy programs. More than 10 or more Adults use this facility to study basic computer skills, send e-mails, and surf the web. Through the help of our volunteers, we screened more than 50 elders on Blood pressure, Blood sugar, and other health-related illnesses. We organized more than 24 seminars/meetings on which issues affecting the community were discussed. Examples, neighborhood safety, housing, immigration, Credit Unions, and their related costs to name a few. We also provided an avenue for cultural practices..For example, African/Caribbean dance, child modeling, and many more. Adult computer literacy is ongoing. Seminars and workshops are ongoing areas not limited to Ebola awareness, human rights, literacy reading, culture, and many more.…

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 2021 to 2022, from $19k to $46k (+141%).
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: 2019 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
58% of UNITED STATES - SIERRA LEONEAN ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
