Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Support refugees, asylum seekers and those who have been internally displaced, primarily through an international, cross-sector network of predominantly locally-led projects; advocate for the rights of these persons through promoting awareness of the plight of those fleeing war, persecution and the effects of climate change across the world.

  • Ukraine Conflict Response - In response to the invasion of Ukraine, the organization focused efforts on developing a network of local responders delivering humanitarian relief and essential services to conflict-affected people across Ukraine and the refugee-receiving countries. Both in and outside of Ukraine this has involved a broad range of humanitarian assistance covering gaps in a range of sectors including evacuations, emergency medical care, support for children with disabilities, food aid, non-food items and legal assistance. The work focuses specifically on the needs of marginalised communities of refugees and internally displaced people.

    Expenses $8,682,586 · Grants $8,503,521

  • International response: The organization works fast, flexibly and creatively to identify and meet the needs of refugees and displaced people along European and Middle Eastern Migration routes. Through partnerships with frontline services supporting people in need and direct financial resourcing of these community-led organizations, Choose Love Inc's work helps save and rebuild lives by providing both emergency and sustainable long-term solutions.

    Expenses $5,887,789 · Grants $5,596,818

  • US-Mexico border: The Organization supports humanitarian work on either side of the border with the aim of closing and preventing future gaps in services provided for the local communities at the border, and the recently arrived individuals and families on either side. The work is informed by three pillars:1) emergency response; 2) daily survival; and 3) securing futures.

    Expenses $699,395 · Grants $695,000

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
