Agency-Wide Funding
Our agency receives support from various funders and partners across Ohio and the larger New American community. As an organization dedicated to serving the refugee and immigrant population, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with supportive groups, organizations, and corporations. Thanks to their support, we can continue providing valuable resources to at-risk populations.
All three offices are also funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), an office that focuses on providing opportunities for New Americans so they can successfully integrate in the United States. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) also funds all three offices in Franklin, Cuyahoga, and Lucas County. Additionally, our organization receives funding from Ohio State Refugee Services for our comprehensive integration services. We are eternally grateful to ORR, ODJFS, and State Refugee Services for their continuous support!
