Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $33,407 spent. ARISE IMMIGRATION SERVICES HAS A DUAL MISSION: 1) WE PROVIDE FREE LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO ASYLUM-SEEKERS IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA AND 2) WE PROVIDE TRAINING AND MENTORING TO ADVOCATES AROUND THE COUNTRY AS WE WORK ON OUR CASES TOGETHER. OUR MISSION ALLOWS US TO EXPAND CAPACITY AMONG IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE TWO ASPECTS OF THE MISSION ARE INTERCONNECTED AS ALL LEGAL SERVICES ARE IMPACTED BY THE MENTORING ASPECT OF OUR MISSION.
- $1,516 spent. THE EMERGENCY CARE PROGRAM WAS USED TO ASSIST CLIENTS WITH NEWLY-IMPOSED FILING FEES. STARTING IN MID-2025 AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, ASYLUM APPLICATIONS REQUIRED FILING FEES TO THE GOVERNMENT. WE RAISED FUNDS TO SUPPORT CLIENTS SO THAT THE NEW FINANCIAL BARRIER WOULD NOT PREVENT ASYLUM PROTECTION FOR OUR LOW-INCOME CLIENTS.
