Other organizations at this address

3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THROUGH COMPASSIONATE, CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE PROGRAMMING AND RELATIONSHIPS, WE COLLABORATE WITH REFUGEE WOMEN TO FURTHER THEMSELVES PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.

  • REFUGEES FACE MANY BARRIERS TO ACCESSING COMPREHENSIVE AND EQUITABLE EDUCATION, WORK, AND HEALTH SOLUTIONS. ALTHOUGH RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES ASSIST REFUGEES WITH INTEGRATING INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES, THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THEIR ONGOING NEEDS- INCLUDING THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS. REFUGEE WOMEN, IN PARTICULAR, OFTEN FACE ADDITIONAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION. TO ADDRESS THESE UNIQUE NEEDS, WE OFFER A SAFE SPACE FOR REFUGEE WOMEN PHYSCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY. WE UNDERTAND THAT SELF EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS CRITICAL FOR THEIR LONG-TERM INTEGRATION INTO A NEW CULTURE AND COMMUNITY. WE RELY ON WOMEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE TO SHARE PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY PRIORITIES FOR INTENTIONAL CURRICULA. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH OFFERING VARIOUS CLASSES AND OTHER EVENTS.

    Expenses $128,120

  • AT EACH HOMEDISH EVENT, GUEST CHEFS PREPARE TRADITIONAL FOODS FROM THEIR HOMELAND AND SHARE STORIES OF THEIR REFUGEE EXPERIENCE WITH ATTENDEES. THROUGH CUISINE AND CONVERSATION, WE CREATE UNDERSTANDING, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, AND STRENGTHEN THE LIVELIHOODS OF REFUGEE WOMEN IN OMAHA.

    Expenses $15,017 · Revenue $13,540

  • REFUGEE WOMEN RISING'S DRIVER'S EDUCATION PROGRAM IS A COMBINATION OF TRAINING BY AND WITH COMMUNITY EXPERTS.

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.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
