Its mission is to help immigrants and their families become productive Americans and champion ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength. Relocation to the Institute's new headquarters occurred in January 2015. Annually, more than 8,000 immigrants and refugees from 80 countries benefit from essential integrative services structured around three pillars: Immersion, Investment and Inclusion. Institute staff are recognized authorities about refugees and immigration. They serve on dozens of committees, task forces and boards locally and nationally. 0 1 3861184 1897733 0 Case Management & Resettlement - SEE SCHEDULE OCase Management & Resettlement:Services in this program area are short-term, generally lasting up to six months after program registration. Refugee resettlement services include airport pick-up; provision of housing and furnishings on arrival, food, clothing, transportation, and interpretation for sponsored refugees. In addition to these basic needs, we provide case management, cultural orientation, linkages for initial health screenings, benefits enrollment, school enrollment, crisis intervention, and various community referrals. Staff members meet refugees at the airport, deliver them to housing rented for them, offer orientation, and help them begin the process of building a new life in St. Louis. Depending on the needs of each refugee family, services can include referrals to registration for English classes for adults and public school for children, employment services, and state and federal benefits applications, including enrollment into the federal Marketplace. Clients are assigned a case specialist of similar language and culture when available. In 2016, a total of 1,281 refugees were sponsored including 123 who were sponsored in Springfield MO through the International Institute of SW Missouri Branch Office. 892503 0 906065 Community Engagement - SEE SCHEDULE OCommunity Engagement:The focus of Community Engagement is to 1) connect St. Louisans through welcoming experiences, 2) improve the cultural competency and communication skills of customers and the wider community, and 3) lead on issues, which impact refugees and immigration. Accordingly, we offer a whole host of integrative services, which are focused externally on immigrant and native-born members of the region. To help build a more inclusive community, the Institute produces Festival of Nations, our region's largest multicultural festival that annually connects more than 140,000 visitors from 100 regional zip codes with the cultural traditions of newcomers and long-timers. The festival focuses on common cultural attractions, food, music and dance and is, therefore, a highly entertaining opportunity for St. Louisans to learn about and build greater appreciation for our community's growing diversity. The festival is also a valuable venue for other local non-profits to connect with these newcomers, who are difficult to reach through traditional media. In 2016, we provided 297 presentations, tours and cross-cultural trainings by Senior Agency Staff. In all, 10,692 St. Louisans attended events including our quarterly Bagels & Coffee series, university presentations at Washington University and St. Louis University as well as at dozens of public school tours and experiential sessions. Additionally, staff leaders engaged in 77 regional, national and international media interviews to help St. Louisans and our world better understand issues surrounding Syrian refugees, terrorism, and to address anti-immigrant backlash which was prevalent, especially on the presidential campaign trail. We have expanded our informational and outreach efforts electronically as well to combat heightened anti-immigrant rhetoric, especially recent anti-refugee hostility focused on admission of Syrian refugees. Our website continues to include the most thorough cataloguing of information and data with regard to the Syrian refugee crisis, featuring data, a YouTube presentation by the Institute President, local statements of support and information to debunk myths. Our Business Solutions Center (IIBSC) continues to offer more than 3,000 fee-based interpreter appointments and translation for newcomers annually as well as other consulting and training services for businesses and non-profits operating in an increasingly diverse community and world. These services include several hundred hours of reduced rate interpretation and translation for other non-profit providers. Our staff and students interns posted 385 stories on Facebook, Twitter and social media sites. Unique visitors on the IISTL website rose to 64,674 for the year. 676948 0 0 Education & Citizenship - SEE SCHEDULE OEducation & Citizenship:Our programs help immigrants acquire the language and knowledge they need to meet challenges of their roles as members of their families, communities and workplaces. The high level of community need for these services is evidenced by the thousands of refugees and immigrants served annually with an average of more than 350 students in class on any given day. We provide a variety of educational programs specifically designed to meet the needs of immigrant and refugee adult learners, including Core English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes and session-based Citizenship preparation classes, each type with levels ranging from Literacy to Advanced and held weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings. We also offer Basic Computer classes on weekday afternoons. In the 2016 year, a total of 1,216 attended ESOL classes, 319 prepared for US Citizenship with 109 passing the citizenship test, and 79 attended computer instruction. 1414836 1500 25604 The ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM of the International Institute focuses on 1) small business development /expansion including training and microlending, 2) asset-building for newcomer families and 3) annual income tax preparation assistance.Small business development/expansion is a major program thrust. With federal funds from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), we provide loans up to $10,000 as well as technical assistance, e.g., market analysis, business planning, credit counseling, classroom and one-on-one training to help refugee entrepreneurs start, strengthen and expand their small businesses. We also offer loans from $500 to $35,000 for equipment and inventory purchases, renovation, and working capital for both refugees and immigrants. We integrate a variety of business development and financial literacy training options into these program offerings.The International Institute Community Development Corporation (IICDC) was incorporated in 2006 to expand our micro-lending services to the larger but still needy immigrant community. The IICDC and the International Institute (II) are separately organized entities, each with 501(c)(3) status. At the same time, the IICDC is organized as a supporting organization of the Institute. The IICDC received CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) status from the US Department of the Treasury in 2008 and in 2013 successfully completed the CDFI re-certification process; accordingly, the IICDC Board of Directors includes members who represent the target lending markets and financial institutions. With four banking partners (PNC, Busey, Midwest BankCentre and Carrollton), we have a $700,000 pooled loan fund for lending over and above the ORR funding pool for refugees. In 2016, the program staff processed more than 100 micro-loans of which 50 were new. EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING: For newly arrived refugees, our services include orientation to the American workplace, job readiness preparation, assessment, case management, placement, and follow up. Newly arrived refugee candidates work in numerous local sectors. A majority of our placements are concentrated in construction, health care, hospitality and tourism, manufacturing & assembly, and transportation. Accordingly, special skills classes in hotel housekeeping, alterations and industrial sewing are offered to those with little or no previous work experience. In 2016, we made 594 job placements.Programs within the SOCIAL WORK & HEALTH Department provide intensive services to a variety of vulnerable populations. Services can include: psycho social/educational groups; case management; screening and assessment; relationship training, outreach and education; information and referrals; life skills training; health literacy; financial literacy; application preparation, capacity building and individual therapy. We provide such services in native language and/or with an interpreter when possible. For longer term services, clients may be referred to other community resources if they exist.Finally, IMMIGRATION APPLICATION PREPARATION services enabled refugee clients to obtain support for family reunification, Permanent Residence applications and U.S. Citizenship applications. If refugee entry visas are not successfully converted to Permanent Resident visas in a timely manner, foreign-born newcomers will fall out of status, jeopardizing their ability to remain in the US and eventually leading to deportation in some cases. And studies show that immigrants who achieve U.S. Citizenship earn a higher salary over their lifetime than those who do not apply. Yet the paperwork for both these applications is lengthy and easily misinterpreted without professional and affordable application support. 1414836 1500 25604 6845471 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 271 0 1 148 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X ANNA CROSSLIN 3147739090 3401 Arsenal Street ST LOUIS MO 63118 RICHARD TAO Former DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY HEGER Immediate Past CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PHILLIP KLEVORN TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMIT SHAH Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANTHONY ANGEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED BERGER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 GALEN BINGHAM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAN CERNY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAM CHARRINGTON Former DIRECTOR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARINDAM KAR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANH PHAM-NGUYEN Vice Chairman 2.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 WENDY RICHARDSON Former DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ED SEUC DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY TSAI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY WHITFORD Former DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE ZAMBRANA Former DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIPANKAR BANDYOPADHYAY DIRECTOR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIN WILLIAMS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARC FAIRMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERI LEHMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARCEL NADDAF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY REEVES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER SCHWESIG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALICE THARENOS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Allen DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samira Boudiab DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arvan Chan DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA CROSSLIN PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 X 154125 0 25316 154125 0 25316 1 0 1 0 0 290391 5940567 711492 130428 6942450 TRANSLATING & INTERP. 611710 617418 617418 FESTIVAL OF NATIONS 611710 277986 277986 OTHER PROGRAM FEES 611710 25604 25604 SPEAKERS' FEES 611710 10661 10661 931669 2471 2471 108582 110299 -1717 -1717 -1717 7874873 931669 0 754 1500 1500 1897733 1897733 179441 26916 96665 55860 2808552 2512723 283610 12219 89442 81985 7457 454697 399071 51599 4027 237779 205499 28812 3468 58150 49050 9100 4511 4511 739697 751360 -11663 51688 44024 4395 3269 182958 165025 16507 1426 55533 51667 3866 158611 134204 23957 450 100858 88746 9817 2295 83322 68815 14507 125781 104398 21383 67556 55645 11427 484 EQUIP RENTAL & MAINT. 127628 117997 9631 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 89969 74180 15789 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 17118 14933 1810 375 7532524 6845471 598669 88384 339184 665199 996698 996698 1421267 1484018 181001 222360 55227 42606 5527253 735717 4814755 4791536 7808132 8202417 250612 303857 55388 280250 79669 0 2446317 2145317 2831986 2729424 X 4619369 4716043 356777 756950 4976146 5472993 7808132 8202417 X 342349 228349 -73851 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 4464313 4331034 6116476 5697146 6942450 27551419 4464313 4331034 6116476 5697146 6942450 27551419 124894 27426525 3273 10454 5302 5542 2471 27042 27578461 3887400 0.99450 0.99770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 X 249284 249284 3568583 237018 3331565 559386 498699 60687 1150000 1150000 4791536 Part IV, Line 2b: INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNTS (IDA) ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS) UNDER THE REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
