Immigration Institute of the Bay Area meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
"exists to educate and serve immigrants, refugees and their families as they join and contribute to the community."
Year, State Incorporated:
1946, CA
Also Known As:
IIBA
Founded in 1918, the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area (IIBA) helps
immigrants, refugees, and their families join and contribute to the community.
IIBA is a 102 year old nonprofit that provides high quality, low-cost
immigration legal services, education, and civic engagement opportunities.
IIBA
has expanded its geographic reach to rural areas where previously there had
been no access to quality, low cost immigration legal services. With
eight offices in six counties, IIBA is the largest nonprofit provider of
immigration legal services in the Bay Area.
With a total staff of 48, IIBA has more than doubled our
legal team staff since 2013 to respond to the increased demand for high-quality
low-cost immigration legal services. IIBA provides the full spectrum of
immigration legal services including deportation defense.
IIBA
collaborates with community partners and local governments to maximize our
impact. In San Francisco, IIBA and our community partners have
helped 9,000 individuals apply for US citizenship in the last 7 years as part
of the San Francisco Pathways to Citizenship Collaborative. As the lead agency
of the Napa Citizenship Legal Services Collaborative, IIBA and our partners
have helped over 1,500 individuals become citizens in the Napa area since 2013.
As the lead agency of the Bay Area DACA Collaborative, IIBA coordinated with
community partners to complete 9,000 DACA applications from 2012 to 2015.
IIBA
holds Know Your Rights presentations, educating individuals on their legal
rights and helping safeguard them. It also conducts weekly ESL and citizenship
classes throughout the Bay Area to help permanent residents prepare for their
naturalization interviews. Because of IIBA’s services, more immigrant families obtain stable
immigration status in the United States.
