CI is on the ground, out in the community, actively listening to challenges that need resources. CI is hosting Webex Master Calendar Hearings, writing resumes, voter registration drives, and financial wellness classes. By fostering connections with local organizations and community members, they help newcomers build a strong support network, promoting a sense of belonging and active participation in the community. iEnglish: English proficiency is an essential gateway to economic opportunity for immigrant workers. Yet access to acquiring these skills is persistently limited by a lack of resources and attention. Increasing investment in adult English instruction-through targeted outreach and digital language literacy will enhance the human capital of immigrants that could lead to enhanced career opportunities and better outcomes for their families. Through the iEnglish Project, we hope to provide regional business leaders with the opportunity to enhance the economic mobility of their current and future workforce by investing in adult English instruction. Support services, business hub, and Women lead: The organization offers new Mainers support services in many formats. The vision of the Business Hub is as an accelerator for helping immigrant entrepreneurs achieve their business goals and as a critical and respected part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Greater Portland area. Our mission is to help immigrant-owned businesses understand, navigate, and thrive in the Maine business community. We do this by developing four key resource areas: access to capital, training, mentoring, and networking. The Business Hub works one-on-one with 10-15 unique businesses each month to support business plan development, evaluate financing options, identify opportunities for growth, develop financial projections, and more. Upon completion of the Women Lead program, each participant has been matched with a volunteer mentor who has experience in the profession they wish to pursue in the US. The program's curriculum was enhanced through collaboration with community organizations that provided instruction on financial literacy, HR perspectives, boundary-setting, digital literacy, resume and cover letter writing, and more. The women also participated in mock interviews and a job fair to practice these valuable networking and job-seeking skills in a supportive environment. While many of the women are still awaiting their work permits, they are collaborating with their mentors to be best prepared for when their employment authorization arrives. This includes getting their foreign credentials evaluated, improving their English proficiency, and participating in relevant training and networking opportunities. In addition to mentorship, the former participants remain connected to their in-house case manager, where they are encouraged to share updates on their progress toward their goals. 0 0 0 1275817 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 37 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 ME X Daniel Muller 2075173401 24 Preble street 4th Floor Portland ME 04101 Faisal Khan Executive Director eff 4/24 40 0 X 89773 0 0 Brenda Peluso Interim Executive Director eff 1/24 end 4/24 40 0 X 56000 0 0 Daniel Muller Interim Executive Director eff 12/24 20.0 0 X 8654 0 0 Quang Nguyen Board Chair 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Amberlynn Esperanza Board Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Lee Board Vice-Chair end 12/2024 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Gartside Board Treasurer end 10/2024 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Bob Leger Treasurer eff 10/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Yusuf Yusuf Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Stefanue Trice Gill Board Member eff 2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Suely Simpson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ike Ndu Board Member end 10/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Elvice Adji Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Eisha Khan Board Member End 2/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Josephine Katandula Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Rupa Lall Pakash Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Rotha Chan Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Roberta March Board Member end 9/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 154427 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 501947 461023 300 962970 Class Revenue 611000 50400 50400 0 0 English Lab Revenue 611000 77550 77550 0 0 0 0 0 0 127950 12558 0 0 12558 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5180 0 0 0 5180 0 5180 0 0 5180 0 0 0 0 1108658 127950 0 17738 154427 0 154427 0 0 1105297 836095 217467 51735 6601 1714 4887 0 119910 55406 64504 0 96367 59074 33335 3958 28750 5750 23000 0 21024 8132 12892 0 4803 4803 110923 33583 64500 12840 9533 4380 3229 1924 46611 31990 10441 4180 44779 34575 2816 7388 178838 155485 15569 7784 17165 17065 100 0 5319 1958 3268 93 23656 23656 24821 0 24821 0 Dues and subscriptions 6954 6954 0 0 In-kind expense 300 0 300 0 2006078 1275817 635556 94705 1365061 129674 10198 137100 6930 6930 212011 169850 63316 42161 1572407 188963 44519 4440 0 801224 364380 0 0 0 0 0 845743 368820 X 726664 -179857 0 0 726664 -179857 1572407 188963 -897420 0 0 0 -9101 0 X 0 0 0 X 418853 506698 707966 1151928 962968 3748413 62910 91949 208350 66775 127950 557934 481763 598647 916316 1218703 1090918 4306347 4306347 12589 17738 30327 0 0 0 12589 17738 30327 481763 598647 916316 1231292 1108656 4336674 0.99301 0.99670 0.00699 0.00330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44115 1954 42161 0 167896 167896 0 0 0 0 0 42161 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A copy of IRS Form 990 is sent to all board directors by email for their review prior to filing.
