Why this matters
Transparency is part of the actual program.
For immigrant communities, trust is in short supply. Many people have been burned by unlicensed “consultants”, fake charities and aggressive donation appeals. The first job of an immigrant-focused foundation is to look — and to be — boring in all the right ways.
That means publishing legal entity details, registrations, board members, reports, donor policies and a real way to ask questions as they become available. UIAN does not promise impact numbers it cannot prove and does not call itself things it has not yet earned.
If you see anything on this site that looks unclear, exaggerated or out of date, please tell us. We will fix it or explain it.

How to verify UIAN yourself.
You should never take a charity's word for its own status. Once UIAN is registered, you will be able to confirm everything through official third-party sources. These links work for any U.S. nonprofit, so you can get familiar with them now.

Where registration standsUIAN is a registered California nonprofit corporation and holds federal EIN 41-2890131. Federal tax-exempt determination is still in progress, so the IRS search above will not list UIAN until it is issued — and we will not claim a status these sources cannot confirm. The moment each record is live, the exact link and ID will appear in the commitments above.
Where the money goes
How UIAN will report its finances.
Every nonprofit reports spending in three standard categories. UIAN will publish the real figures for each one in its annual report and IRS Form 990 after the first full reporting year.
Program services
The actual help delivered to families: legal coordination, family protection, refugee landing support, education and stability work. We commit to keeping the majority of spending here.
Management & general
Running the foundation responsibly: coordination, compliance, accounting and the operations that keep programs reliable.
Fundraising
The cost of raising the next dollar. We keep this lean and report it openly, rather than hiding it inside program costs.
No numbers we cannot proveYou will not find invented percentages or impact figures on this page. Real dollar amounts and ratios appear only after they are audited and filed. Until then, this is our commitment to how we will report, not a claim about money already raised.
