Casa ALBA Melanie

What Casa ALBA Melanie does

Casa ALBA Melanie is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Hispanic Resource Center founded in 2011 and opened in February 2012 in Green Bay, Wisconsin (Federal EIN 45-4099296). The organization provides approximately 50 distinct services under five program pillars: Education (La Escuelita early childhood, Spanish GED, Pre-GED literacy), Health & Family Needs (Spanish Health Navigator, Corazones Jovenes seniors, Insurance Consultation, Youth Sports Training), Professional & Immigration (attorney consultations, DACA renewals, power of attorney), Community Liaison (police relations, voter registration, mobile consulate), and General Services (document translation, notary, agency referrals). It serves the Hispanic community of greater Green Bay — an estimated 20,500 residents, representing 28% of the local school-age population — with 300+ individuals served monthly plus additional phone consultations across nine Wisconsin counties.

Service delivery is entirely human-staff-and-volunteer based, with no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or public API. The organization operates from a single headquarters at 314 S. Madison St., Green Bay, supplemented by off-site mobile consulate events, phone consultations, and online GED classes. The technology footprint is limited to a content website (www.casaalba.org), newsletter subscription, and social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).

The revenue model is donations and charitable contributions only. Casa ALBA receives no state, federal, or local tax support and provides all services free of charge. The four disclosed major financial supporters (Norbertine Order, Hospital Sisters Health System, Green Bay Packers, Brown County United Way) each contribute at least $5,000. The organization has created an endowment with the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and operates with 1-10 paid staff supported by 91+ volunteers who contributed 4,550+ hours (valued at $184,402.58 in 2017 tracking). Go-to-market is community-led: word-of-mouth, walk-ins, and referrals from the Circle of Compassion partner network.
