Activities or mission (Part I)

Community Center for Immigrants facilitates integration and fosters self-sufficiency in the immigrant community by providing English and Citizenship education programs and immigration legal services. Our goal is to develop the literacy and civic knowledge required to obtain U.S. citizenship and actively participate in American society. CCIs education program focuses on adult education as an essential component of the integration process. Our courses build linguistic confidence encourage the use of English outside the classroom and prepare students for the naturalization exam. In 2022 CCI became Department of Justice-certified to provide immigration legal services. For example we draft and submit documentation for green cards and citizenship prepare clients for the naturalization test and accompany students to their citizenship interviews.

  • CCIs English Literacy & Civics program innovatively teaches English and workplace skills to refugee students enhancing their life skills. The ELL services include: Beginner Literacy for those with limited English proficiency focusing on reading writing speaking and listening. High Beginning and Intermediate courses improve overall language skills. English Language for Citizenship offers language and civic knowledge for US citizenship application. English Language for Civic Rights and Responsibilities workshops cover American political systems and rights aiding in democratic participation and immigration navigation. Guest speakers include local officials employers financial experts and FoodShare advocates. Field trips to local businesses and the Milwaukee Public Library provide experiential learning. Outreach events recruit new refugees including citizenship celebrations and World Refugee Day participation. Transportation assistance is provided through gas cards. Translation services are available for various program activities. Referrals to other agencies support participants needs including legal services for green card and citizenship applications.

Our courses build personal confidence and encourage the use of English in practical situations outside the classroom. We leverage a team of experienced instructors to deliver educational programming to hard-to-reach limited literate learners. Additionally to overcome barriers to adult education we provide transportation childcare and online classes.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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

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.
