Refugee One was approved to receive two grants totaling $450,000 in FY2024, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

The listed appropriations included grants of $250,000 and $200,000 if two, each designated for programs or services funded by the State of Illinois.

These appropriations represent state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

Founded in 2014, Refugee One states that its mission is: “Champion students of refugee backgrounds by helping them obtain post-secondary education and skills to prepare for a professional life.”
