Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

SYRIAN COMMUNITY NETWORK IS A 501(C)3 REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY AND SERVES FAMILIES BY ADDRESSING THEIR EVOLVING NEEDS.

  • Education The Organization has adult education and youth education programs. The adult education programs for refugees and immigrants at the Organization include ELL instructions for new learners, Citizenship and Civics Preparation, the Womens Support Circle. The Organization also partners with other immigrant-serving organizations, community colleges, and vocational training providers to refer adults for programs that relate to their academic and professional goals. The youth education program offers a variety of youth educational programming for refugee and immigrant children from elementary to young adults, including an afterschool program, online homework room and summer camps, as well as Youth Mentoring, and Education Case Management. The Organizations youth education programs seek to provide a safe and culturally-competent space to help youth learn and grow.

    Expenses $548,530

  • Immigration The Organization offers free Immigration Legal Services to low-income immigrants, with a focus on representation under humanitarian categories, such as refugees, asylees, or humanitarian parolees. Additionally, refugees and asylees are eligible to adjust to Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, commonly known as a green card, after one year with their humanitarian status in the U.S. After 5 years of holding LPR status, they are eligible to apply for naturalization and become a U.S. citizen. Our Immigration team helps people along all stages of this pathway and to overcome many of the potential barriers.

    Expenses $493,591

  • Case Management The Case Management program is a collaborative process that includes assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy on behalf of our community members that includes benefits assistance, approved representation, medical and employment services. The Organizations case managers assist individuals and families in achieving wellness and autonomy through individual sessions and workshops that are culturally and linguistically accessible and trauma informed.

    Expenses $417,400

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 19 October 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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
