Our Timeline of Serving Refugee and immigrant neighbors
Through partnerships with employers, volunteers, supporters, and the local church, we witness lives being transformed from their first day in Minnesota to their 5th year of residency. Refugees move from merely surviving to thriving, reaching key milestones that restore hope and create lasting impact.
Arrive Ministries Funding Sources in 2025
No Data Found
In 2024, more than half of our funding came from federal contracts, primarily through our Reception & Placement contract. In February of 2025, this funding contract was terminated. Other federal contracts, including employment, immigration, and medically complex case management programs, are most at risk of future federal contract cancellations in 2025 or beyond. More than one-quarter of our funding comes from state contracts through the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services for employment, immigration, and education programs. A small portion of our funds (3%) comes from service fees.
More than half of our funding (55%) comes from generous private donors, including individuals, churches, businesses, and foundations. With federal funding in flux and the ending of the refugee program, we need to raise $125,000 per month to continue serving the 4,200 refugees who arrived in Minnesota (in partnership with other agencies) over the past 15 months.
Your monthly support is vital to our mission of transforming the lives of refugees, immigrants, and the Church.
It provides the stability we need to navigate this uncertain time with confidence to continue serving our vulnerable refugee neighbors in 2025 and beyond.
