Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

VALLEY NEIGHBORS IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CULTIVATES A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR IMMIGRANTS IN THE FLATHEAD VALLEY.

  • IN 2025, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED HOUSING SUPPORT, LEGAL REFERRALS AND FUNDING, MEDICAL AND DENTAL REFERRALS, LANGUAGE SERVICES, EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM SUPPORT, ASSISTANCE IN ACCESSING BENEFITS AND SERVICES INCLUDING NAVIGATING A NEW CULTURAL LANDSCAPE. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED FUNDING FOR 19 IMMIGRANT MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN TO FILE FOR ASYLUM. OUR CLIENTS WORKED ON PAYING PORTIONS OF THEIR LEGAL FEES, PAYING BACK LOANS FOR URGENT NEEDS, AND WORKED THEIR WAY UP TO PAYING THEIR RENT INDEPENDENTLY. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS ENABLE US TO ASSIST EVEN MORE CLIENTS. HOUSING PROGRAM: IN 2025, WITH YOUR HELP WE WERE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS TO HOUSING, THROUGH RENTAL ASSISTANCE, HELP WITH UTILITIES, LANDLORD OUTREACH, AND OTHER CREATIVE APPROACHES. WHILE HOUSING IS A SIGNIFICANT BUDGETARY EXPENDITURE, WE ALSO BROUGHT IN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CLIENT RENT TO HELP STRETCH OUR HOUSING DOLLARS FURTHER. RENT SPENDING COMPRISED 161,378, BUT CLIENT RENT REPAID 104,087 OF THAT COST. YOUR GIVING HELPED TO FUND A CONTRACTOR WHO MANAGES OUR HOUSING PROGRAM. EVEN FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR RENT, OUR HOUSING COORDINATOR WAS ABLE TO ASSIST FAMILIES WITH RENT READINESS MEETINGS AND HELP FILLING OUT HOUSING APPLICATIONS. LEGAL ACCESS PROGRAM: WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO FUND IMPORTANT LEGAL ASSISTANCE, WORK THAT OPENS THE DOORS TO BEING ABLE TO LIVE AND WORK AS A FULL MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. WORK PERMITS AND SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS HELP PROTECT PEOPLE FROM EXPLOITATIVE WORK AND HOUSING SITUATIONS. THEY EMPOWER PEOPLE TO MEET THEIR FAMILYS NEEDS THEMSELVES, WHICH IS THE DESIRE OF ALMOST EVERY CLIENT WE WORK WITH. WITH THE GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR DONORS, WE FUNDED A LEGAL SERVICES COORDINATOR, PROVIDED FOR A DOCUMENT PREPARER OR LAWYER TO HELP 19 PEOPLE PREPARE THEIR ASYLUM APPLICATIONS (A TOTAL OF 7 CASES). OUR LEGAL SERVICES COORDINATOR HELPED PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF THE STEPS THEY NEEDED TO COMPLETE IN THEIR PROCESS AND CONNECTED THEM TO THE RESOURCES APPROPRIATE TO THEIR SITUATION AND NEEDS. SOCIAL SERVICES: OUR SOCIAL SERVICES COORDINATOR WORKED TO HELP PEOPLE WITH A MYRIAD OF PRACTICAL PROBLEMS, LIKE HOW TO GET A DRIVERS LICENSE, CAR INSURANCE, OR REGISTER A CAR. HE ASSISTED CLIENTS IN NAVIGATING THE PUBLIC BENEFITS OFFICE, FOR THE FEW WHO QUALIFIED.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 29 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
