Form 990 for tax year 2024
Filed by IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE LAW CENTER.
What the amendment changed
Compared with the return it replaced , filed 7 October 2025. matched by us Only the Part I totals and the names listed in Part VII are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.
Both are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

-
Pro Bono Legal Services: In response to the urgent and growing need for free, high-quality legal services for immigrant and refugee families in Greater Cincinnati, the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center (IRLC) began operations in February 2018. IRLC is a unique, community-based nonprofit organization providing critical pro bono legal representation across a broad spectrum of humanitarian immigration matters for low-income individuals and families. Our clients include asylum seekers, unaccompanied children, trafficking survivors, and victims of violence many of whom are navigating life in the U.S. after enduring trauma and hardship. see schedule O for additional information
Expenses $237,856
-
Unaccompanied Children's Program: In 2024, IRLC significantly expanded its Unaccompanied Children's Program to address the growing need for legal representation among immigrant minors arriving in Greater Cincinnati without parents or guardians. Through our partnership with the Acacia Center for Justice, a national leader in immigrant child advocacy, we ensure these vulnerable youth many fleeing violence, trafficking, or extreme poverty receive culturally sensitive, trauma-informed legal support to seek protections such as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), asylum, or U visas.- see schedule O for additional information

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
