ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
TO BE AN EVOLVING RESOURCE FOR THE GROWING COMMUNITY OF IMMIGRANT NEWCOMERS TO INDIANAPOLIS; WITH A SPIRIT OF HELPFULNESS, THE CENTER WILL CONNECT THESE NEWCOMERS TO THE RESOURCES, SERVICES, AND OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED IN THE CITY TO ENABLE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMIC, CIVIC, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
THE IMMIGRANT WELCOME CENTER(IWC) IS RESPONDING TO CRUCIAL COMMUNITY NEEDS OF VULNERABLE IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE FAMILIES THROUGH ITS NATURAL HELPERS PROGRAM, A LEADING INDIANAPOLIS RESOURCE FOR ASSISTING FOREIGN-BORN RESIDENTS ON THEIR PATH TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY REFERRAL AND INFORMATION SERVICES THROUGH ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRUSTED VOLUNTEER IMMIGRANT LEADERS. THANKS TO THE HARD WORK AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF MANY PEOPLE, FOUNDATIONS, AND BUSINESSES WHO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF NEWCOMERS IN OUR CITY, THE IMMIGRANT WELCOME CENTER CONTINUED TO MAKE MEANINGFUL PROGRESS IN ITS MISSION. IN 2012, SERVICES AND PROGRAMS WERE EXPANDED TO MEET THE NEED OF THE FOREIGN-BORN IN CENTRAL INDIANA. ACCORDING TO THE 2010 US CENSUS DATA FOR MARION COUNTY, INDIANA: 1) 72,000 INDIVIDUALS (8.3% OF THE POPULATION) IN MARION COUNTY ARE FOREIGN-BORN 2) BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010, THE TOTAL POPULATION IN MARION COUNTY INCREASED BY MORE THAN 43,000, OR A 5% TOTAL INCREASE, WITH THE NON-WHITE POPULATION GROWING FROM 31.1% TO 45.5%. THIS INCREASE IN POPULATION CAN BE DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE NUMBER OF FOREIGN-BORN NOW LIVING IN MARION COUNTY. 3) APPROXIMATELY 1,000 REFUGEES ARRIVE IN INDIANAPOLIS EVERY YEAR FROM COUNTRIES SUCH AS BURMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, SOMALIA, SUDAN, AND IRAQ; REFUGEE POPULATIONS FROM BHUTAN, SYRIA, AND IRAN ARE GROWING. 4) AS OF 2009, ONE IN TEN MARION COUNTY RESIDENTS DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AT HOME. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2012 NATURAL HELPERS PROGRAM AND NEW IWC BRANCHES CURRENTLY OUR 70 NATURAL HELPERS REPRESENT 38 COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN AND SPEAK 40 LANGUAGES. THE FUNDAMENTAL INTENDED CHANGE IS FOR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE FAMILIES TO INTEGRATE SUCCESSFULLY BY: (A) RECOGNIZING THEIR OWN CAPABILITIES, TALENTS, RESOURCES, AND GOALS TOWARD SELF-DETERMINATION; (B) BECOMING EFFECTIVE ADVOCATES FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS; AND (C) CULTIVATING AND BUILDING COLLABORATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT FOSTER SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NINA MASON PULLIAM CHARITABLE TRUST, FIVE BRANCHES IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS HIGHLY POPULATED BY IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES WERE LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 2013. DEVELOPED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS SERVED, PROVIDE A RELIABLE LOCATION FOR SERVICES, OFFER ASSISTANCE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES, AND INCREASE NEWCOMERS' CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, OUR FIVE NEIGHBORHOOD BRANCHES ARE STAFFED BY A NATURAL HELPER FOR THREE HOURS PER WEEK AT CONSISTENT TIMES AT: 1) BIG CAR SERVICE CENTER (LAFAYETTE SQUARE/INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACE) 2) EXCEL CENTER (DECATUR TOWNSHIP) 3) HAWTHORNE COMMUNITY CENTER (NEAR WEST) 4) SAINT MONICA'S CATHOLIC CHURCH (NORTHWEST) 5) SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY SERVICES (FOUNTAIN SQUARE) WELCOMING INDIANAPOLIS DURING THE LONG PROCESS OF INTEGRATION, MANY IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES FEEL INTIMIDATED OR UNCOMFORTABLE INTERACTING WITH NATIVE-BORN AMERICANS. LIKEWISE, MANY NATIVE-BORN AMERICANS FEEL ANXIETY ABOUT THEIR NEW NEIGHBORS CHANGING THE CULTURE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, CITY AND NATION. IN PARTNERSHIP WITHE THE CLOWES FUND AND WELCOMING AMERICA, THE IMMIGRANT WELCOME CENTER IS CHANGING THE CONVERSATION AROUND IMMIGRATION BY IMPLEMENTING A CITYWIDE INITIATIVE KNOWN AS "WELCOMING INDIANAPOLIS," AS AN AFFILIATE MEMBER OF WELCOMING AMERICA. WELCOMING AMERICA IS A NATIONAL, GRASSROOTS-DRIVEN COLLABORATIVE THAT WORKS TO PROMOTE MUTUAL RESPECT AND COOPERATION BY FOSTERING DIALOGUE AND OTHER INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FOREIGN- BORN AND US-BORN AMERICANS LIVING IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD. THE MISSION OF WELCOMING INDIANAPOLIS IS TO CREATE A WELCOMING, RESPECTFUL ATMOSPHERE-COMMUNITY BY COMMUNITY-IN WHICH IMMIGRANTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO INTEGRATE INTO THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF THEIR ADOPTED HOMETOWNS BY UTILIZING A STRATEGY WITH THREE CORE APPROACHES-LOCAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT-TO PROMOTE HEALTHY DIALOGUE ON IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL AND BUILD ENGAGEMENT IN THE CITY'S MULTICULTURALISM. EFFORTS WILL BE FOCUSED ON STRATEGICALLY-TARGETED AREAS INCLUDING: 1) NORA (BURMESE, MIDDLE EASTERN, AFRICAN, AND HISPANIC-LATINO POPULATIONS) 2) LAFAYETTE SQUARE (A HIGHLY DIVERSE MARKETPLACE OF MANY IMMIGRANT-OWNED BUSINESSES) 3) NEAR WEST (HEAVILY POPULATED BY HISPANIC-LATINOS, WITH SOME BURMESE AND AFRICAN REFUGEES IN HAUGHVILLE, HAWTHORNE, STRINGTOWN) 4) SOUTHPORT (HEAVILY POPULATED BY BURMESE REFUGEES FROM THE CHIN STATE)AND 5) FOUR YET-TO-BE-IDENTIFIED NEIGHBORHOODS IN 2014 REUBEN EDUCATIONAL SERIES THE REUBEN EDUCATIONAL SERIES WAS LAUNCHED IN 2012 TO OFFER INFORMATION ABOUT CROSS-CULTURAL TOPICS OF INTEREST TO IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, SUCH AS NATURALIZATION/GREEN CARD REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESS, MICROFINANCE LOANS FOR SMALL BUSINESS, UNDERSTANDING US LAWS, AND UNDERSTANDING US CULTURE. THESE MONTHLY EDUCATION SESSIONS ARE HELD THROUGHOUT INDIANAPOLIS (THROUGH THE HOSPITALITY OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS) WITH AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE RATE OF 20. THE PROGRAM IS A LEGACY OF SARA I. REUBEN, A FIRST-GENERATION IMMIGRANT FROM BELARUS, AND ALBERT G. REUBEN, A FIRST-GENERATION AMERICAN WHOSE FAMILY ALSO CAME FROM EASTERN EUROPE. LONGTIME INDIANAPOLIS RESIDENTS, MR. AND MRS. REUBEN ARE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IMMIGRANTS TRULY ENRICH AND GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY. OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1)CULTIVATED MORE THAN 20 NEW COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN THE CRITICAL AREAS OF EMPLOYMENT, LEGAL AID, HEALTH SERVICES, EDUCATION, LAW ENFORCEMENT/CRIMINAL JUSTICE, GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES, AND FAITH-BASED RESOURCES. 2) TRAINED TWO NEW GROUPS OF NATURAL HELPERS, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO 71 VOLUNTEERS REPRESENTING 38 COUNTRIES AND 40 LANGUAGES. 3) INCREASED PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY 43% AND CORPORATE CONTRIBUTIONS BY 32% 4) TWO AMERICORPS MEMBERS WERE ADDED TO STAFF TO ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BOTH THE BRANCH OPENINGS AND WELCOMING INDIANAPOLIS. THEY ARE PART OF A NINE-MEMBER TEAM KNOWN AS THE IMMIGRANT & REFUGEE SERVICE CORPS WORKING IN SEVEN ORGANIZATIONS SERVING IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS IN CENTRAL INDIANA. 5) STRENGTHENED INTERNAL COMMITTEE STRUCTURE, ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, AND GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, INCLUDING CHARTERS FOR EACH WORKING COMMITTEE. 6) ADDED NEW COMMNITY LEADERS TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING GARY HENTSCHEL, PRESIDENT, CENTRAL INDIANA DISTRICT OF KEYBANK; AND WANDINI B. RIGGINS, ATTORNEY AT LAW WITH LEWIS WAGNER LLC. 7) ESTABLISHED 53 NEW COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, PLACES OF WORSHIP, AND BUSINESSES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR CLIENTS. 8) DEVELOPED EMPLOYMENT PARTNERS WITH 11 BUSINESSES, STAFFING AGENCIES, AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT REGULARLY OFFER JOB OPPORTUNITIES. 9) OFFERED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND JOB FAIR FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, WITH 111 PARTICIPANTS. 10) WITH THE LOCAL CHAPTEROF THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ASSOCIATION, OFFERED A FREE LEGAL CLINIC FOR IMMIGRANTS SEEKING TO APPLY FOR DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS, WITH 100 INTAKES AND 50 APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED.
