“…Because there are no comprehensive lists of immigrant-serving organizations in the D.C. region, a three-step process first used in earlier studies (Cantor and De Vita 2008;Lee and De Vita 2008) was used to create a list. First, a comprehensive list of 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area was developed 13 using data from the Urban Institute's National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS)-a national repository of nonprofit organizations that file with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).…”

Financial Challenges of Nonprofits Serving People of Color: Original Survey Results

The recent influx of immigrants to the United States and the corresponding growth in racial/ethnic diversity has increased the visibility of nonprofits that serve primarily people of color (POC). Combining data from an original survey with Form 990 tax returns and Census records, this study focuses on nonprofits designed to serve particular racial and ethnic groups. We explore whether organizations that serve mainly POC or those led by POC face greater financial challenges than others. We find that POC-serving or POC-led nonprofits experience greater financial difficulties stemming from additional challenges in resource development and management. However, POC-serving nonprofits led by executives of color did not show additional disadvantages compared with those serving mainly POC but led by White executives or POC-led nonprofits serving mainly White individuals. We discuss the implications of racialized organizations and how understanding this issue can help address the financial vulnerability of POC-serving nonprofits.

“…In many places, nonprofits have become increasingly involved in providing legal, educational, social, health, and employment services to immigrants (Hein, ; Cordero‐Guzman, ; Hung, ; Cantor and De Vita, ; deGraauw, ; Lee and De Vita, ; de Leon et al ., ). However, in municipalities with a limited history of immigrant settlement or more dispersed patterns, such organizations may not exist at all, limiting not just the quantity and quality of integration services provided, but also the ability to advocate for additional resources on behalf of immigrants (Hutcheson and Dominguez, ; Truelove, ; Wang and Truelove, ).…”

Ethnic Concentration and Nonprofit Organizations: The Political and Urban Geography of Immigrant Services in Boston, Massachusetts

This article considers the geographic distribution of nonprofit organizations serving immigrants across municipalities within the Greater Boston area in an effort to identify variations in the levels of assistance available to major foreign-born populations in the region. The analysis relies on data from the Census and the National Center for Charitable Statistics. Results suggest that geographic context matters, including immigrant settlement patterns, racial heterogeneity, and fiscal and institutional characteristics of towns and cities, in shaping availability of nonprofit resources to immigrants. These findings highlight large socio-spatial disparities in immigrant services and challenge the wisdom of devolving responsibility for such assistance to local governments and ultimately nonprofits, as new entrants settle in larger numbers in areas previously unaffected by immigration and ill-prepared to address immigrant needs. The research contributes to debates on the rescaling of immigrant policy and service provision and literature on the geography of integration by engaging with scholarship in urban and political geography.
