Mission and programs · 2024

• Immigration Legal Services: Providing free or low-cost services to low-income immigrants and migrants in Hawaii. Services include client screening and intake, attorney advice and counsel, legal representation in federal immigration court, assistance with status adjustment applications, and training law students, pro bono attorneys and other volunteers in helping with specific services. TLCs legal team provided immigration legal assistance to 176 low-income clients and opened 260 total cases-in addition to working on cases that were opened in the prior year. TLC also became the first and only local provider on the DOJ list of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers for immigrants with cases at the Honolulu immigration court.

  Expenses $668,312

• TLC led or participated in over 20 outreach and educational events across the state, including four webinars with the City & County of Honolulus Office of Economic Revitalization with information specific to the COFA community, which logged over 9,000 combined views, and In-person Know Your Rights (KYR) presentations and tabling at community events on Oahu, Hawaii Island and Maui. TLC co-hosted a continuing legal education (CLE) course entitled Defending Immigrants in Hawaiis Criminal Courts, educating 63 attorneys-including public defenders from across the state-in this highly specialized area of law, with the hope of preventing unnecessary deportations. As a result of attending the course, staff from The Office of the Public Defender contacted TLC to request statewide staff training for their attorneys.

  Expenses $74,257

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

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.

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.
